Adeem the Artist
October 22, 2022 @ 7:30 pm
Free – $22.00
A seventh-generation Carolinian, a makeshift poet, singer-songwriter, storyteller, and blue-collar artist, Adeem Maria began toiling at their instrument in 2002 and used songwriting as a vehicle to process culture shock, their faith, and later their journey through apostasy.
Blending a homegrown affection for Country Music with the emotional ballyhoo of alternative folk in the early aughts, they have created a unique brand of Americana that pays homage to John Prine and John Darnielle (of The Mountain Goats) in equal parts.
On Cast-Iron Pansexual, they weave a rich tapestry of words with humor and wit; exploring identity across coalescing subcultures. Traveling to Carolina to get their Tarot read while straddling the duality of being a “blue collar boy” who is a “complicated dame,” Adeem excavates unwonted stories of the forgotten south.
“[Adeem] writes about the questions in a pensive Americana style. [Their] songs will both comfort you and challenge you.”
– American Songwriter
“Cast Iron Pansexual lives up to its title with explorations of sexuality and gender expression that are equally clever and poignant.”
– Rolling Stone
