The Odeon is delighted to welcome back favorite performers Jay Boy Adams & The Friends. Jay Boy Adams’ music has always represented a resonant mixture of country, rock and blues, while remaining steeped in tradition. A native of Colorado City, Texas, Adams grew up with the same influences that fueled the music of Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Terry Allen and Butch Hancock, all of whom hailed from nearby Lubbock. He spent a number of years honing his craft playing in bands in Houston and then in Midland with noted bluesman Johnny Heartsman. In 1972, Adams landed an opening slot in Lubbock for ZZ Top, which led to four years on the road with the band, and another six, sharing concert bills with such artists as The Allman Brothers Band, Joe Cocker, Jackson Browne, Marshall Tucker Band, Bonnie Raitt, The Kinks and many others.
His 2007 release of The Shoe Box ended up as the #7 Americana album of the year and also spawned an extensive tour as special guest for the legendary Stephen Stills, not only opening the show, but also playing some guitar and singing back-up vocals as part of Stills’ band.
