The stunning virtuosity of Jonathan Adams has inspired and entertained a wide variety of enthusiastic audiences across the country. As a young boy Adams's artistic curiosity was initially sparked by his father's study of the acoustic guitar. Although he began with the popular fingerstyle technique of the day, the young guitarist was soon drawn to the intimate beauty and diversity of the classical repertoire.

Adams's studies eventually took him to the University of Georgia where he was privileged to study with the renowned professor John Sutherland. Along with refining his fluid technique, the young musician was encouraged by Sutherland to follow his own artistic sensibilities and to expand the diverse repertoire of the guitar.

In addition to studying with John Sutherland the young guitarist had the rare opportunity to perform in masterclasses under the direction of one of the world's preeminent virtuosos of the classic guitar, Christopher Parkening. The eloquent musicianship of the Maestro is clearly evident in his student. Adams's talent was so evident that he was invited by the class to represent his peers in a live interview and performance that was broadcast on public radio.

Adams's unique ability to communicate the works of classical composers is only bested by his warmth and personality. From Bach to the Beatles, his arrangements and original compositions have expanded the repertoire of the guitar with a flair for creativity not often experienced. Intensely talented and incredibly polished, Adams's light-hearted style continues to enchant audiences everywhere.
