JAY BOY ADAMS

JAY BOY ADAMS -Singer, songwriter, guitarist
Jay Boy Adams started playing in bands in Houston and Midland, Texas. He landed the regular
opening act slot for ZZ Top in 1972. After four years on the road with ZZ Top, he hit the touring
circuit for six years, sharing concert bills with The Allman Brothers Band, Joe Cocker, Jackson
Browne, Marshall Tucker Band, Bonnie Raitt, The Kinks, and many others. After spending 200 to
250 days a year on the road in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, Adams left the road to spend time with
family. In 1997, he joined Lee Roy Parnell onstage, prompting him to return to music on the
road. He toured on George Strait’s 1999 Country Music Festival, headlined the Kerrville Folk
Festival, and toured Europe as a special guest star with The Texas Tornados. In 2007, he
released “The Shoe Box” and began touring again alongside some of the most notable names in
the music world. Jay Boy Adams’ music has always represented a resonant mixture of country,
rock, and blues, while remaining steeped in tradition, what has now come to be known as
Americana music. Adams has toured from coast to coast with some of the biggest names in the
business, but he continues to live in Texas, where he enjoys life with family and continues his
work, and feels “The best is yet to come”.
