ADAM PALMA

Adam Palma first started playing the guitar in 1986. His formal music education started in Poland some years later and in 1999 , he graduated from The Music Academy in Katowice, - Faculty of Jazz and Popular Music.

Influenced by a wide variety of musical styles from the rock of Jimi Hendrix, Angus Young, Randy Rhoads, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie van Halen, Doobie Brothers to the country of Albert Lee, Brent Mason, the acoustic guitar of Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel, the jazz of Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Miles Davies - still loves to have AC/DC and Frank Sinatra songs together in his car’s CD player.



Although Adam claims he is a rock guitarist, his skills are diverse, and include fingerstyle acoustic guitar. After he had heard “The day of fingerpickers took over the world” by Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel in 2005, he began the journey of mastering this style. Recently his hard work was acknowledged by non less than the world famous Tommy Emmanuel, who has invited Adam to take part in the most prestigious guitar event in the world : The CAAS Chet Atkins Appreciation Society in Nashville in July 2009. A fantastic accolade for Adam and recognition from such a fingerstyle guitar master.

Highly recommended. Book early to avoid disappointment.
