Born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Roger Adams started his music career. As a small child he found his voice and would sing himself to sleep. His Father, Mother and Brother were all musically inclined and they had a true impact on his musical talent. His Father and Brother both played guitar and sang and his mother was a piano player and played often with the church. Music was in the house and it was in his blood.

Adams began playing guitar at six years old to his favorites, Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark. As he progressed, Jerry Reed was his idol. Their musical styles still show in his music today. Singing in the high school chorus and madrigals, his confidence started to grow. As a teenager, his music started to evolve just like the music of the world. Southern Rock and Country rock had invaded the radio and it lit a fire. Roger started his band in the late 70’s in his hometown called The Virginia Fire Band. Starting with a small following, the band grew in popularity to one of the most sought after bands playing in Virginia. Playing on the big stages and featured in a local album of bands from the area. “Homebrew” was the first recording of an original song written by Roger Adams. The album featured his song “Six Strings and my Hands”. A story of a musician on the road finding his way.  Playing lead guitar and lead vocalist, the band was definitely on fire.

Now that his children are grown. Roger made some big changes in his life and the decision to go after his music dream in full force.

This EP featured his original song “The Setting of a Nashville Sun” which was inspired by the life of a musician on Broadway in Nashville.
