    Burlington's Adam Cooke Does Some Amazing Musical Exploration on 'Bring the Spring'


    Burlington singer/songwriter, Adam Cooke is a musical explorer on his latest album, Bring the Spring.  From hard rockers to reggae-tinged soul to smooth funk, the man can do justice to every cool tune.

    Right out of the gate, you'll be head-banging to the title track then wiggling your butt to the ultra-funky Something Special.  What follows is a little bit of everything - you definitely won't be bored!

    Adam's band consists of the wonderful Mike Scime (drums) and the amazing Steve Pelletier (bass). Talented  guests include Adam Ostrosser (guitars also co-wrote a track), Cory Barnes (guitar) and Joel Parisien (keys)

    Cd's are available at his superb live shows or can be downloaded through iTunes.

    EXTRA MINI-REVIEW!

    Some albums escape our radar, so occasionally we'll be catching up with some mini-reviews!


    2011's Rock You Down also has a whole whack o' soul with some heavy rockers thrown in for good measure.  Adam knows how to create a catchy, soulful song that will stick in your head and get ya moving!

    It can also be downloaded via iTunes.
