Great musician & very easy to work with!

Adam was a really effective communicator and super professional. He arrived promptly- his set up was a breeze and his music was delightful. I asked him to provide instrumental background vibes and he nailed it - no big ego about not being the focal point of the party. Highly recommend.

We recommend Adam Block and look forward to his music again!

Adam was an accessible communicator from the start. Yesterday he set up early, very prepared. The music he played matched our request for Brazilian and tasteful background music while folks conversed. The hosts were very pleased with the result and with Adam as a good human being.

Additional booking notes

I need access to electricty. I will need shade if the event is outside during the day. I will also need either a stage or platform. I do not like to setup on the grass or dirt without a stage or platform of some kind.
