Adam Ezra Group

4545 N Lincoln Ave · The Myron R. Szold Music & Dance Hall · 773.728.6000


Americana songwriter and his bandmates in the Adam Ezra Group seem to have popped out of nowhere, establishing a connection with their fans unlike any other, suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast and earning New England Music Award's “Americana Act of the Year” in 2023.

Adam Ezra will joke with you that while the “nowhere” part might be accurate, nothing has ever just “popped” for this folk musician and activist. Without resources, connections, or any kind of clue how the music world works, Ezra began playing shows over 20 years ago. When music venues wouldn't hire him, he played bars, bookstores, fields, and parking lots, often raising money for causes he cared about; a practice that grew into his nonprofit organization RallySound.

These days you'll find Adam and his bandmates, Corinna Smith (fiddle), Poche Ponce (bass), and Alex Martin (percussion), constantly out on the road. If you look at their tour schedule now, you can buy tickets to see them at festivals, rock venues, and theaters around the country, but you will also see their tour continuously peppered with activism and grassroots events; a testament to an artist who will never forget where he came from, and whose mission is about much more than music.
