medium including 30 films and television shows. He’s toured New
England 21 years in The Logger, his original one man comedy show.

that also incorporates plenty tight pin-point funny ad libs, and
a great set of country kickin music with Rusty on guitar and vocals.

Adam
Brockway
Saturday, September 29, 2018
FREE
It's been a long time coming! Adam will be out promoting his debut
solo album that was funded by a Kickstarter campaign. As
many of you know, he has been playing, singing and writing songs
with Eastbound
Jesus for the last 7 years. Throughout that time, and in years
prior he has written a number of songs that, for one reason or another
(or maybe no particular reason at all), never made it into the EBJ
repertoire. He has decided to take some of those songs and put them
on a disc for everyone to listen to.
Thanks
to WEQX for getting
the word out about this great opportunity to support a local artist
on the rise.
