Selling Out Venues Throughout the
Northeast!
TOURING NATIONWIDE!
On 11/11/11, the Boston based Adam Ezra Group officially released their much anticipated album, "Ragtop Angel." The CD is their debut on Royal Avenue Music and was produced by multiplatinum producer Aaron Johnson, best known for his work with The Fray. Upon it's release, "Ragtop Angel" shot to the top of the Amazon charts (peaking at #4 behind John Mayer and Sarah Bareilles) and was featured on iTunes "New and Noteworthy Rock Albums" in December of 2011 and January of 2012. The group's live performances, often compared to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, have established Adam Ezra Group as one of the premier indie bands in the North East and attracted the attention of Royal Avenue Music in 2010. The first single, "Takin' Off," has been getting added to playlists on radio stations across the country. The group also released their first video, "Miss Hallelujah," filmed on location throughout their hometown of Boston. The Adam Ezra Group (AEG) is constantly proving that they are more than just a band, musically, personally, and socially. Selling records and tickets is important to AEG, but they are committed to changing the world with their songs and their actions along the way. Ezra has spent time living out of a van, farming in Canada, volunteering for the relief effort in Kosovo, and practicing environmental geography in South Africa. Whether as a kitchen hand or carpenter, teacher, athlete, or traveler, Ezra crams it all into the music, always challenging our perspective and often teetering somewhere between the ballsy rocker and sensitive poet. AEG currently dedicates around 25% of their touring to benefit events in communities across the country, and almost all of their tour dates incorporate some form of "giving back." Ezra has created his own non-profit organization called RallySound, which officially received 501c3 status in the fall of 2011. It's mission: to help create socially conscious, live music events that inspire communities, grassroots activism, and civic engagement. Having toured with Rusted Root, The Avett Brothers, Jason Mraz, The Goo Goo Dolls, Blues Traveler, Los Lobos, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Dwight Yoakam, and many more, the Adam Ezra Group has graduated from the local Boston scene to the national stage with a momentum that is catapulting them towards being one of the country's most talked about bands. "Not since Springsteen and Bono have I seen a lead
singer with his talent and charisma." -- Jack Casey, General Manager
WERS radio in Boston "Ragtop Angel will certainly arouse the critics and may finally be the glue that cements Adam Ezra in place as one of the most gifted songwriters in the country." -- Alternate Root Magazine "Adam Ezra is one of the most promising songwriters to come along in years... with the craftsmanship and insight to become a major voice in American music." -- Ben Tishler, VH1 Voted one of the TOP MOUNTAIN BANDS in 2006 & 2007 by Ski Magazine!
