Blues In The Land Of Slack Key

"My dad told me, 'Nobody wants to hear that music here,'" says Campania. "But I'm going to play what touches me."

Play they do. From "Crossroads" and "Little Wing," the soul of Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, to a blistering rearrangement of Robert Johnson's "Me and the Devil," and their own originals, Friends of Adam speaks to a genre where Guitar Player is a musician and not a computer game

Can three, young Filipino men play the blues? John Heckathorn, editor of "Honolulu Magazine" wrote: "When Campania picks up his guitar, he channels Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan."

John Hart, confidant of the late guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan exclaimed "they are as for real as anything you will see on Sixth Street in Austin, Texas.

The band has recently opened for Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer, Aerosmith, at The Blaisdell Arena, multi-Grammy-Award winner, Sheryl Crow, at the Waikiki Shell, and 70s pop sensation, Pablo Cruise at the Aloha Tower Waterfront. They also have recently played a show at the world famous Pipeline Cafe with Darby Slick, of Great Society fame, writer of Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane.

The "Honolulu Star Bulletin" stated: "If you like your blues hard and electric, you might look for these guys."

Friends of Adam are: Clay Campania on guitars, Ernie Ecraela on bass, and Justin Incelda on drums.
