Artist Showcase: Adam Hawley
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2016
Adam Hawley is known as a prolific artist and sideman, appearing with a list of artists in a wide variety of genres. Credits include Dave Koz, Jennifer Lopez, Brian Culbertson, Natalie Cole, Gerald Albright, Dave Koz and Friends Cruise, and American Idol to name just a few.
He currently has a successful solo career as a smooth jazz artist, and his debut record “Just The Beginning” was released on March 18. Not to mention his song “35th Street” has come in at #3 for Smooth Jazz Songs on the Billboard Top 100 Year End Chart of 2016!
We were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him and get a pedalboard system that would be exactly what he needed. For Adam "...the goal of this pedalboard was to replace my rack without losing any of its functionality. I can program an entire show or use it like a traditional pedalboard with instant access mode. And it comes in under 50lbs in the case!”
