Singer-songwriter Adam Ashbach is no stranger to the Rock and Roll lifestyle. He played with Musical Outfits for almost seven years as the Chicago rock band sold out some of the city's biggest venues, played Lollapalooza, were scouted by major labels and traveled to Greece, where they enjoyed heavy radio airplay and performed on a popular television show. The band even boasted an impressive grassroots following that shared their desire for honest music, but things got complicated. After numerous breakups, fights over the same girl and a barroom brawl that left Ashbach with a broken jaw, he had had enough. After retreating from music and Chicago for nearly two years, Adam’s love for melody and songwriting called him home to record his first solo effort, the sweet and heartfelt EP Puzzle Pieces, at CRC and Tim Sandusky's Studio Ballistico. With the help of old band mates Jason Angelilli and Joe Wagner, Adam worked up some direct yet vulnerable pop songs and is ready to give the rock and rollercoaster one more shot.
