Adam Frehm Dobro & Vocals

About Adam:

Adam Frehm was inspired at an early age by the piano playing of his mother and grandmother.

He began playing the guitar at age 14 and was a jazz guitar student during his years at college. Shortly after

graduating in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Vermont, he discovered "his voice"

with the dobro. Adam has always been drawn to the sounds of the slide guitar; from the electric bottleneck

slide of Duane Allman to the steel guitar work on Jackson Browne, Poco and Neil Young albums.

Taking up the dobro and lap steel was a natural transition. Adam has studied the dobro with Junior Barber

(Gibson Brothers), Kevin Maul (Robin and Linda Williams Band) and Roger Williams

(Southern Rail/New England Bluegrass Band).

Between 1997-2001 he toured the USA with the bluegrass/jam band, ‘Smokin’ Grass’. Adam has recorded

on over 25 albums and also several movie soundtracks including, “Outside Out” -a film by Mike Gordon

(Phish) and “Hittin’ the High Notes” -a film documentary about the High Sierra Music Festival. Adam has

performed with many artists, including: Diane Zeigler, Strangefolk, Larry Keel, Scott Tournet

(Grace Potter & the Nocturnals) Yonder Mountain String Band, Mike Gordon, Acoustic Syndicate,

Sally Barris, Jon Randall (Emmylou Harris & Sam Bush Band) Gordon Stone, William Nicholson,

Jamie Notarthomas and Max Creek –to name a few.

In his free time, Adam enjoys writing and playing music for solo finger style acoustic guitar and listening

to music from all over the world.
