Dee Adams Open Mic Page

Bring your originals, covers, stringed instruments, hand percussion, anything that makes music to the Sportsmen's Tavern open mic, every Monday at 9pm hosted by Buffalo Music Award winner Dee Adams."

Dee Adams writes and sings punchy, poetic, acoustically driven songs drenched in hooks and harmonies. Reviews have coined Dee’s style as “earthy”, “sweet to spunky”, and have said that she has “lyrics that speak to the heart and mind”. Among Dee’s accolades and accomplishments is her appearance on the 2002 Songs Inspired By Literature compilation. Having been named Grand Prize Winner of the 2002 Songs Inspired by Literature songwriting contest, Dee’s song “Pennsylvania” can be found alongside tracks donated by David Bowie, Roseanne Cash, Steve Earle, and Tom Waits. In 2003, Dee’s EP with travelling band The Roadtrippers was released on Sage Indie Music, called Taking My Time. A lush, well produced set of songs punctuate the intention of Dee’s music – to keep some fun in the act of introspection. In 2005, just 10 months after Dee started performing in Buffalo, she was awarded a Buffalo Music Award for Best Acoustic Solo Act. Hosting an open mic at the renowned Sportsmen's Tavern, performing regularly at the legendary Nietzsche's, and having an article published in the local entertainment paper, it's clear Dee has a foothold on the Buffalo music scene. Currently, Dee Adams can be seen and heard performing across Western New York with her band Dee & The Housecats. Imagine Bonnie Raitt's voice with Bob Dylan's backing band...the Housecats features some veteran americana and blues musicians from Buffalo NY. Coming to a Buffalo joint near you!
