Their impressive journey has included working with renowned artists like Sheila-Raye Charles, Lyle Lovett, and Daisy Jopling, and earning second place in New York’s first Gospel Choir Competition in 2014.

Every performance is more than a concert—it’s an uplifting, unforgettable experience that brings people together through music. Don’t miss it!

Adam Ezra Group

Saturday, June 27, 7:30 pm

Blending folk/Americana soul, rock ’n’ roll energy, and deeply human songwriting, Adam Ezra Group has built one of the most authentic underground followings in live music today while quickly becoming recognized on a national level. As SPIN recently put it, they are “an independent underground folk band blowing up without selling out,” a rise that has happened entirely outside the traditional industry system, powered by word of mouth, community activism, and a genuine connection between band and audience that often turns first-time listeners into lifelong fans.
