Roam

East Nashville musician Adrian Krygowski has been touring east of the Mississippi strongly since 2009, playing his brand of intense "Soul-Folk," as his band members put-it, to sold-out rock clubs, listening rooms, house concerts, coffee shops, festivals, and everywhere in between. He's touching on 400 shows since then, and only shows signs of gaining more steam, and dedicated fanbase.

The three-piece band of Paul Niehaus on steel (Calexico, Justin Townes Earle), and Jared Manzo on bass (Chris Scruggs), powers through their new record "Roam", a 7-song LP, on stages in the Nashville regional circuit, while Adrian primarily plays solo, or with fiddle, in most other markets still.

With recent highlights such as a trip to Daytrotter, Fearless Radio, WDVX, and bill-shares with Scott McMicken (Dr. Dog), Pokey LaFarge & The South City Three, Woody Pines, Joe Fletcher, Joshua Black Wilkins, Johnny Fritz/Corndawg, Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles, Adrian's road-tested show has been making instant fans every show.

Adrian and Meredith started performing together, as Meredith sat-in on a short midwestern tour in mid-2012. That winter, they worked to put a traditional tune "Jack of Diamonds" on Adrian's upcoming "Roam" LP. In early 2013, they were asked to perform at MKE Follies, a Milwaukee Performance company with Adrian's sister, Lindsey (Video from their 3-piece performance here. The show sold out, and their new act built on from there. Currently, Adrian + Meredith have been consistent in the Chicago, and Southern Michigan area, and plans to pick up more traditional and vaudeville musical stylings.

One of the first things Train Case Management was asked to do after signing Adrian, was to build a consistent band in the Nashville area. (Those from the area know musicians move around alot in a vast scene). Adrian had already been playing with Paul Niehaus on Pedal-Steel (Calexico, Justin Townes Earle, Lambchop) for a few months, with several new songs and Nashville-local showcases needing a fuller sound. TCM immediately found Jared Manzo, after playing with Derek Hoke & Chris Scruggs, and the consistent 3-Piece was formed.

With a rotating cast of drummers, Aaron Dister (Heypenny), Simon Roper (St. Johns), Joe Curet, etc., the band tracked "Roam", all brand new songs since Adrian moved to the East Nashville neighborhood. With the release of the LP, the full-band has only gotten more prominent in the scene, with well-known showcases such as 8 off 8th, $2 Tuesdays, Daytrotter, New Faces, Terryfest, and co-headlined their first date at The High Watt in May '13, with Music City Mayhem's darlings, Mercy Bell.
