Adam Karch's 2023 Concert History

Guitar-ripper Karch gets big sound from his band, his notable blues mentor/producer Walter Rossi, and certainly his Strat. He sounds a bit like a Colin James or Brian Setzer (Both Happy) in voice and, considering the horns, large band. The arrangements, like in the sumptuous In Blue, betray that a lot of talents had hands in this. Karch co-penned all the songs (mostly with James Stadnyk) and the grooves are showy blues/rock: ballads like Just About Broken or Goodbye blend with drivers like We Ain't Going Home Tonight or the top cut The Flame.
