About the promoter, Pat Adams:

Pat Adams worked for the Kaleidoscope, a Nashville music paper in the 1970’s. He was also a roving reporter for WLAC-AM, reporting from Nashville hotspots like The Hee Haw TV set and RCA Recording Studios, where Elvis Presley recorded many of his hits. This was the start of Pat’s interest in concert promotion and covering the local music scene.



His first project was the Creekers Ball in the 1980's, an annual Nashville music charity event featuring dozens of southern rock acts.



In 2003, Pat got the idea for Tennessee Concerts as an outlet to document, preserve and showcase his decades of covering the Nashville music scene, online to a worldwide audience.



More recently Pat is the promoter & videographer of Nashville’s longest running rock & roll musicians jam, The Play It Again Jam. Players at the 2006-2010 Play it Again Jam events include musicians that have worked with Taylor Swift, The Four Tops, Kiss, Robert Palmer, Beatlemania, Pacific Gas & Electric, Rick Derringer, Sam & Dave, Hank Williams Jr, Wilson Pickett, JJ Cale, the Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stonewall Jackson, plus several members from the original Charlie Daniels Band.



Pat has a vision and commitment to helping bands fine tune their presentation and hopefully rewarded for their efforts in a tough economic time, where promotion is key and crucial to take your band to the next level.
