BAND BIO

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adam Larkey   ADAM LARKEY - FIDDLE

At the ripe old age of 6, Adam decided he wanted to play the fiddle. He began taking lessons from Scott Gould at the School of Music in Kingsport, TN. His dad, being a bluegrass musician himself, then started letting Adam play a few songs on stage with his band and from there he took off. Adam, born and raised in Abingdon and Bristol Virginia, had a pretty normal childhood until the day his dad brought home an old fiddle to be repaired. He showed an instant interest in the old instrument.  Since then Adam has appeared on WCYB’s Family Focus, CMT, BCMA’s Pickin Porch, and the Carter Family Fold, not to mention many other bluegrass featured radio broadcasts. Adam has been honored to be a featured performer in Nashville along side accomplished artists such as The Little River Band, Kim Karnes and Penny Gilley.  Now at 10 years old he plays old time and bluegrass fiddle music as someone decades his senior.  He is influenced most by Bobby Hicks and of course Hunter Berry of Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, but being 10 he still loves to play basketball, baseball, playstation and has become somewhat of a WW2 historian.  Adam is a 5th grader and resides in East Tennessee with his Mom, Dad and little sister, Sarah Grace. Adam and the band are honored and grateful for the opportunity to play for your event.
