It's a very special night for the both of them. It's Dr. John's cd release show, and Dr. John is one of Adam's heroes, so opening up for him is a true career highlight. I asked Adam to explain to me what this opening slot meant to him, and this is what he said.
"Dr. John is an adorable man. I was originally attracted to his zu-zu man persona, but now I would happily flip through his hat collection. My favorite song of his is "Black Widow Spider." It's hard to describe the type of music that is... it's almost goth-funk I guess. I dig goth music 'cause I'm a dancing maniac these days. I buy a lot of Dr. John's records on ebay.. Maybe if he hears my good music, he would allow me to write some of his new album with him. Since my keyboard player is having a baby soon, maybe Dr. John could play keyboards with me at Reading Festival. You never know because I get lucky sometimes."
