Adam Levy and Rich Hinman
Adam Levy and Rich Hinman:
Rich Hinman (guitar and pedal-steel guitar) has worked with Rosanne Cash, M. Ward, Sara Barreilles, and many other venerable artists. Adam Levy (guitar) is a well-traveled sideman as well — having worked with Norah Jones, Amos Lee, Allen Toussaint, and others as well. Hinman and Levy are more than the sum of their credits, however. Both are composers and bandleaders who have released their own music. Hinman’s latest is called ‘Glacier’; ‘Accidental Courage’ is Levy’s most recent. Together, they play soul music without words, country music without hats, and blues music without regrets — as can be heard on their compelling 2019 LP ‘Vs.’ Hinman and Levy will be joined at the Icehouse by bassist Cody McKinney and drummer JT Bates.
More about Adam Levy:
“I’m a lucky man. That’s all there is to it,” says guitarist/songwriter Adam Levy. Whether Levy’s many gifts are the result of good fortune or hard work is tough to say. Safe bet it’s a combination of the two. What’s undeniable is that he has created a remarkable body of music over the past 25 years, and his talents continue to evolve today.
Chalking up an enviable career to luck is characteristic of the soft-spoken Levy, whose humility is echoed in his musical voice. Much as he chooses his words wisely, Adam is tactful and tasteful in his guitar playing, never stepping into a solo spotlight without something meaningful to add to a song. One great example is his guitar work on the Norah Jones hit “Come Away with Me.” Understated but memorable, Levy’s solo draws on elements of jazz and country to reflect perfectly the simple, earnest sentiment of the composition.
He met Jones in New York City, before the songstress had played her first real gig, and was recruited for the recording of Come Away with Me — her multi-platinum, multi-Grammy debut on Blue Note Records. He remained in Jones’ orbit for several years to come, recording two additional albums and three DVDs, and touring the world as a member of her Handsome Band.
Making music with Norah Jones was just one experience in a string of elite gigs for Levy. A few years prior he had met Tracy Chapman, who enlisted him to play on her mid-’90s masterpiece, New Beginning. Levy’s guitar earns the limelight in the bluesy “Give Me One Reason,” which won Best Rock Song at the 1997 Grammy Awards. More recently, he was worked with Lizz Wright, Meshell Ndegeocello, Vulfpeck, and Kat Edmonson.
Beyond continuing his recording career as a sideman for celebrated artists, Levy has risen as a songwriter in his own right. His compositions have been recorded by Norah Jones, Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket), Miles Zuniga (Fastball), and Amber Rubarth (rising indie artist). The full force of Adam Levy’s songwriting is in play on his six solo recordings, the latest being 2019’s lyrically driven Accidental Courage.
