ADAM EZRA GROUP AT MEDALLION
The Adam Ezra Group will be performing live on Friday , Nov . 18 at 8 p . m . at the Medallion Opera House , 20 Park Street , Gorham Town Hall . Doors will open at 7:30 p . m .
Adam Ezra Group ' s songwriting is making waves around the country . The co-write , “ Let Your Hair Down ” with producers Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta , ( American Authors ), just received " Song of the Year " at the New England Music Awards . A songwriting partnership with the legendary John Oates is taking Ezra back and forth between Nashville and tour . The theme song , " Grow Your Own Way ," was central to Midwest insurance giant , Country Financial ' s 2014 / 15 marketing campaign . In addition , Adam Ezra ' s debut efforts in movie scoring have led to an appearance at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival and the release of Adam Ezra Group ' s new album , aptly titled , Songs for a Movie .
This 16 song marathon studio production is the culmination of three years of writing , planning , arranging , and recording for the independent film release , " Folk Hero & Funny Guy ." Much of the writing and recording occurred while on tour ; in hotel rooms , hallways , green rooms , and while literally driving the American highways often referenced within the album .
A tireless touring outfit , the Adam Ezra Group ( AEG ) played upwards of 200 shows in 2015 , often devoting their time to local charities and always going out of their way to connect with fans . The Group is made up of lead singer , songwriter and guitarist , Adam Ezra , Alex Martin on drums , Turtle on percussion , Corinna Smith on fiddle , Francis Hickey on bass and Josh Gold on keys . Together they are creating a powerful , inclusive community around AEG shows that is beginning to be compared to a socialmovement as much as a traditional music fan-base . It ' s this dedication to fans that inspired the 2016 " Get Folked Concert Tour " in which Ezra ventured solo / acoustic to the homes of 30 fans in as many days and almost as many states to play house concerts throughout the entire month of January .
Ezra started his own nonprofit organization called Rally- Sound in order to better support fans and activists dedicated to making the world a better place . The proceeds from the video for the latest single “ Let Your Hair Down ” are being donated toward micro-grants for cancer patients struggling to make ends meet while in treatment . The Adam
Ezra Group hosts a free festival each year called The Ramble . Last year over 3,000 people came out , and another 2,000 people tuned in via livestreaming from around the country and they raised money to help build a handicap accessible home for a wounded veteran .
Throughout the rest of 2016 The Adam Ezra Group will be on the road throughout The United States , playing music from Songs for a Movie , and working on their next studio release , slated to drop within the next year . Their goal : to reach as many people as possible while sharing their belief in the power of community and the human spirit .
Tickets are $ 20 and are available at Gorham Town Hall , White Mountain Café and at www . medallionoperahouse . org . This concert is sponsored by Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Coos County Family Health Services .
