Description

"As a story teller Adam Traum wraps his catchy hooks with infectious grooves. His songs have a consistent verve, which reflects his belief in music as an essential element of the human experience. The material Adam writes evokes images of an Americana landscape spinning tales of love, heartbreak, beauty and the occasional observational diatribe. When he performs live Adam brings his sunny disposition and genuine love of playing music to the stage. His tasteful instrumental chops and relaxed but powerful voice are a great compliment to his well-crafted songs. The rootstock of Traum's music germinated in the fertile ground of the Catskill Mountains. He was raised in a musical family in Woodstock, New York, with a front row seat to music history. His passion for music was enhanced by going to many festivals and shows in his formative years. As an aspiring guitarist Traum was always welcome to pick along at jam sessions with family friends, many of whom happened to be musical luminaries. Traum regularly raided his father's record collection listening to the masters of electric blues, country and folk in addition to regular doses of rock albums he got at the local record store. He would spend hours playing along and figuring out his favorite riffs. Thanks to the time spent exploring these musical avenues, he became a well-rounded musician able to nimbly shift between genres. After tenures in several rock bands as a young musician, Traum found the truth, beauty and honesty in the roots music he was raised around. One year at MerleFest in North Carolina, he had a musical epiphany after seeing Tony Rice play guitar. No gimmicks, no effects: just wood and steel! It was music made by people, for people. The authenticity of that performance is the benchmark he continually strives for whether playing acoustic or electric music. In addition to being a busy performer, Adam is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and active music educator with several popular videos on Homespun Music Instruction. his band Wolf Run is completing their debut album, and has a more electrified sound while still holding fast to his musical sensibilities.

Wolf Run on JMB's New Old Show

Wolf Run started in 2010 when Adam Traum and Jack Hines met at an open mic in Sonoma, California. Traum was in search of a string bassist, and Hines fit the bill perfectly. They got together on a rainy winter afternoon at a cabin in Glen Ellen and the two had a great time jamming.  Traum's Americana/folk was a elevated with Hines’ dynamic groove. As they began playing local gigs, and traveling to out-of-town shows, the duo needed a name and liked the idea of "Wolf Run," a neighborhood near Hines' house.  Feeling the need to expand on their acoustic sound to include electric guitar and bass, Traum and Hines enlisted veteran drummer Kendrick Freeman whose groove propelled their rootsy sound to a new place.  The band plays songs ranging from acoustic singer-songwriter feels, funky grooves, and some good old rock and roll. They draw inspiration from a wide range of genres that include Americana, blues, folk, country and rock. Adam Traum is a prolific songwriter, with Hines bring in some terrific songs to the band as well. They are about to drop their full debut self-titled effort after releasing their singles. While Traum handles the bulk of the frontman duties, Hines and Freeman both sing harmonies and lead
