Boston roots rockers Adam Ezra Group coming to Munson-Williams

Posted

UTICA — The Adam Ezra Group, a roots rock band from Boston, performs for the Concerts in the Court series at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 11 at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, 310 Genesee St.

Founded in the early 2000s, the Adam Ezra Group blends folk, rock, soul and pop influences to their interactive, euphoric performances. The band, headed by Adam Ezra, includes fiddler Corinna Smith, drummer Alex Martin and bassist Poche Ponce. The band has shared the stage with the likes of Little Big Town, The Wallflowers and Davin McGraw.

The band has a strong philanthropic calling, hosting an annual homegrown festival in Boston, The Ramble, to raise money for veterans experiencing homelessness. The event raised $100,000 in 2022.

“We are thrilled to present the Adam Ezra Group as they are quickly becoming one of the hottest bands in the Northeast,” said Bob Mortis, director of performing arts and special projects manager at Munson-Williams. “Their high-energy, original take on roots music, along with their commitment to many social causes, has allowed them to amass a dedicated online following. The Adam Ezra Group was a favorite of the Levitt Amp Concert Series in 2019, a community partner of Munson-Williams, and we’re excited to have them back in Utica this March.”

Tickets for Adam Ezra Group are $28 for general admission, $23 for Munson-Williams members and $10 for students.

All Concerts in the Court are held in the Root Sculpture Court at the Museum of Art and include a 15-minute gallery talk by a curator during intermission. The museum opens at 6:30 p.m. for ticket holders to explore the museum before the show.

The Concerts in the Court Series is sponsored by Elizabeth R. Lemieux. A cash bar will be available.
