Adam was a huge part of making our wedding one of the best nights of our lives, and I feel many in the room would wholeheartedly agree. We could not have asked for a better performer, musician, DJ, and all else that Adam does so well! Adam is completely independent, and perfection is just part of the package he offers. We needed 3 separate locations covered as we migrated from ceremony on the beach, to cocktail hour in the courtyard, to an all night dance party DJ inside, and Adam seemed to always be one step ahead waiting for us to arrive to the show. THANK YOU for being so very professional, talented, accommodating, and overall everything we needed and more.

We hired Adam to play at our Pig Roast. He was easy to work with and he responded to my questions quickly. He arrived early for set up, sang beautiful, and we received so many complements on his music selections. He was great. We highly recommend!

Adam shows up at your event 30 minutes early to allow for set-up and any last minute details you may need to communicate. After setting up his PA system (perfect size for most venues and flexible- 1 or 2 speakers, speaker stands or not, etc.), Adam tunes up his guitar and is ready to play your favorite songs. For the next hour(s) you'll be blown away by the impressive, wide ranging repertoire entertaining your guests! You'll be able to enjoy your function, socializing with your guests, while Adam provides continuous entertainment. At the end of the event, Adam will collect payment, hand out a few business cards, pack up his gear, and be out of your way in no time! Leaving your guests excitedly asking "Where did you find this guy?!"

More information is available on Adam's website. Please contact Adam today to create your perfect wedding experience!

PRIVATE EVENTS:
Adam is the perfect addition to your private event! Whether you are looking to add a special touch to a birthday, graduation, anniversary, reunion, fundraiser, a just-because, homecoming/going away, holiday party (do you need a another excuse to have a GREAT time?), or you are looking for entertainment for a community event, senior event, open house, or any other event, Adam will provide the right music for your occasion!

By taking requests and playing extended sets, Adam keeps your guests entertained the whole time! On most occasions, Adam is even asked to stay later to keep the music going! Adam has a few different PA's to choose from, meaning he can accommodate just about any audience or location (even if that means he brings his battery-powered PA to the beach!). In addition to guitar, Adam also plays the same songs on ukulele...which is a great way to accent your tropical-themed event! In the end, your party goes off without a hitch and your friends, family, etc. think you're a genius! Contact Adam today!

BARS/RESTAURANTS:
With a songbook repertoire of over 1,000 hit songs by 100's of legendary contemporary, country, and classic rock artists, Adam Rice can provide variety for your patrons, as well as take requests! Adam is well-known for playing lengthy sets and taking only a couple of short breaks during an entire evening! That means people will stay in their seats (and order drinks), and you'll get your money's worth from your LIVE entertainment. Adam also has a few different PA set-ups to choose from (if you don't have a house system), so he can fill just about any barroom or restaurant with LIVE music. Having different set-ups means you also have flexibility in where you'd like to have your Adam play in your venue (an area as small as 3 feet by 5 feet will suffice). Adam can play loud, soft, or somewhere in-between depending on your needs. All Adam needs from you is a standard electrical outlet! Adam can also provide you with a W9 form if needed. Contact Adam today!

CORPORATE EVENTS:
With over a decade of experience as solo musician, Adam has had the privilege to provide entertainment for a variety of companies and events (from Mom & Pop shops to your favorite Mall Stores to Public Trading companies). When Adam arrives at your function, you'll know you have the right guy because he will be on time, have all of the right equipment, and be dressed appropriately (from costume to suit to clambake attire and anything in-between). Regardless of whether he is dealing with an outside planner/coordinator or an in-house employee, Adam is a total professional from beginning to end. Upon request you will be provided with a W9 form and a contract outlining the details and Adam's responsibilities for your event! Most importantly, Adam is fun! With a repertoire spanning decades of hit music, Adam will play music that is familiar to all of your employees and appealing to all demographics! Depending on the location of your event Adam can provide a battery-powered PA system, use one of his standard PA's, or play acoustically. And if you have announcements to make, don't hesitate to borrow the mic, or have Adam make the announcement for you! Contact Adam today!

Additional booking notes

Adam provides his own PA system and requires only a standard electrical outlet to plug into on your part.
