Introduction of performer:
Adam James Sorensen (Drummer, guitarist, harmonica player, singer/songwriter)
Born in Chicago, Sorensen studied Anthropology at Western Illinois University immediately after high school, but was restless and left his studies after only 3 semesters. His desire to explore first led him to Salt Lake City. While there he renewed his focus on music, and performed, recorded and toured as a sideman with several bands. He soon relocated to New York City to pursue his music career, immersed himself in NY's thriving music scene, and finished a BFA in performance at the New School University. As he began to perform regularly in both Europe and the U.K., he chose to again relocate. While spending his time in Barcelona, Edinburgh, Berlin and Paris, he continued his music career in Europe for three years before choosing to return to Chicago in 2009. As Sorensen's life had remained in constant motion for well over a decade, his return to Chicago provided a context to both reflect and process. “Returning to the Midwest wasn't easy, but it's been healing”.

On MIDWEST, he builds a lush and distinctive sound with the help of an eclectic, highly seasoned group of musicians. The album was recorded at Forgiveness Studio with renowned alt-folk producer Evan Brubaker (Edie Carey, Rachel Harrington), and features a remarkable line-up of guest musicians that include violist Eyvind Kang (Bill Frisell, Beck), multi-instrumentalist Mark Spencer (Son Volt), cellist Christopher Hoffman (Henry Threadgill), Seattle singer/songwriter Rachel Harrington & mandolin legend Don Stiernberg.
