Here's an introduction to the band, direct from their home website!

Lawsuits over the band's name earlier this year prompted a transition to the Adam Craig Band. And that's the only aspect of the band that has changed. The four-man band's brand of country music, rooted in harmonies, musicianship, and high-energy stage shows has only improved with the adversity they have been dealt.

"Dealing with two law suits involving our name has been a distraction for several months," said lead singer, Adam Craig. "Fighting them would have cost more time and money and we felt the best thing for the band was to change our name and focus on our music. We're the same guys, and the same music, just a new name. Many of our fans knew we were contemplating this change and we appreciate their loyalty. We can't wait for them to hear our new songs."

The band gained critical and fan acclaim with their debut album, Four Square Miles, a collection of 12 songs that included the nationally-charted singles “Pencil Marks” and “Stay.” The album not only showcased the band's vocal harmonies but also the skilled musicianship of each member. Each member is a formally trained musician and each played on the entire album.

The band originally formed in 2006 when Washington state-natives Adam Craig, who also plays lead and rhythm guitar, his cousin/keyboard player Ryan Jones and drummer Brian Smith hooked up in Nashville with South Carolina-native, bassist Jimi Hendrix (his real name.)

Their strong work ethic, tight harmonies and stellar musicianship lead to opening gigs with the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Little Big Town, Blake Shelton, Sara Evans, Eric Church and others. The band has even opened for such legendary rock acts as Foreigner, Brett Michaels and REO Speedwagon. They have developed a large and loyal following through constant touring and an active internet presence.

The group's infectious sound also caught the attention of thousands of fans, which helped launch the popularity of the band's "Phone Song." The video was accepted into the CMT.com Music City Madness 2 competition in the fall of 2007 and was voted into the top 8 out of 64 video's by the band's active and rapidly growing fan base.

Things began to click in 2008, when the band was invited to sing the National Anthem for NASCAR at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox, and the Country Music Association listed them as "the group to watch."

In addition, the band was invited to perform at a fundraiser for the Riley Children's Foundation, which supports the Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The Foundation was so impressed by the band's talent and caring attitude that they asked the group to write a song to be used for the Foundation's fund raising campaign for the hospital. Within days, "Hope Happens Here" was written and recorded, and the guys found themselves back in Indianapolis, performing the song for the Foundation's supporters, including Mayor Greg Ballard, Governor Mitch Daniels, and the owners of the Indiana Pacers and Indianapolis Colts. The powerful video is on the homepage of www.rileykids.org.

Earlier this year, the guys hooked up with acclaimed producer Josh Leo, who has written songs and produced albums for the likes of Alabama, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Restless Heart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Reba McEntire, LeAnn Rimes and others.

The first Josh Leo-produced single for the Adam Craig Band is set to hit radio in September.

Ultimately, the Adam Craig Band knows that hard work and dedication to making and performing great music brings success. They've earned their successes one show and one song at a time. They love to play, they love to write, and they love to perform for fans. Most importantly, they love to be a part of a very new and unique brand of country music. Their infectious harmonies, catchy lyrics and driving grooves already have country music fans singing out loud.

And that makes quite a sound -- the sound of a band ready to make history.
