Welcome!

The music starts.  Feet are tapping, folks are singing along, maybe holding hands.  There's a current (definitely energy).  Something passing between the folks on stage and the audience. Everyone feels it.  It’s palpable.  The energy on stage grows, a couple gets up to dance, and so it goes.  The Adams Family Band is on stage.  It is magic.   I’ve been there, dancing and singing-a-long.  I couldn’t help myself.  This band welcomes audience interaction.  I’m not sure they could do anything to stop it.  It’s contagious.

When you hear the intricate vocal harmonies that only close relatives can create, there’s no mistaking that The Adams Family Band truly IS a family.  You’ll hear Jerry Adams and his son Brian on lead vocals/acoustic guitars with his sister, Cindy Adams Kropf, adding the final touch to the vocal trio.  Rounding out the group is Cindy’s husband, Dale Kropf, on bass and background vocals.  The strength of their instrumentals shines through beneath their vocals.

Listening to them, their beautiful harmonies stand out.  You might hear “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morisson.  I’m not sure how you could stay in  your seat and not dance.  Maybe Cindy will sing “Dream a Little Dream of Me”.  It's such a treat to be part of the audience and surrounded by their great voices.  Their set list includes 50s and 60s folk, classic rock and the Doo-Wop that they do so well.  It’s one song after another that you're sure is your favorite.  I’m not kidding. 

​Check out where they’re playing, you’ll be so glad you did.  This band has a special something that you see with people who've been around together and spent good time in each other’s company.   What's especially wonderful about them though is that it’s clear, you’re  invited to the party.

He passed away last Nov and we sang several of the songs you sang throughout our 62 years together. We were lucky enough to grow up and fall in love during the 50’s/60’s. The songs were memorable, and we could sing along. Outstanding!! As I sang along with you during the Spring Lake concert, my Phil was right there singing with me. I could still feel his love . Thank You - all - for a wonderful night!!! He’s my “Special Angel” now."
