Release party with Robin Lane set for Saturday, March 29 at Club Passim

We recently had the distinct honor and privilege to check out the new EP, “Nowhere But Here” , from Cambridge singer-songwriter , Adam Sherman. You can listen to “Nowhere But Here” on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here and Bandcamp Here

The one word that keeps coming to mind when we listen to Adam Sherman’s new EP, “Nowhere But Here” is ….. “Timeless”

The beautifully crafted and orchestrated tracks are so wonderfully put together that they could thrive in any musical period.

Sherman understands that the destination suggested in the EP title is wherever we may be – or need to be – in order to truly live in the moment, be present, and develop the human connection that dissipates more with each day.

“These songs are all about finding the strength to persevere and move towards love and kindness, even when there is loss,” Sherman says. “I would love listeners to feel that joy and sadness will always be present in our lives and that we can learn to embrace both and persevere.

Nowhere But Here, produced by Ken Field and recorded with Robin Lane providing harmony vocals, Sherman’s creative vision crystallizes. Led by last fall’s lived-in and lovelorn “Pure As Yours” and sweeping February single “Gratitude,” the EP is completed by a pair of new tracks in “How Hard I Tried,” which got the music video treatment , just ahead of the EP release;( you can watch the video which was directed and edited by Carissa Johnson below and “Torn And Tattered.” The result is a songwriter fully comfortable in his own skin, and the follow-up to 2021 album Triangle Sky finds him exploring some new sonic territory that feels like a natural progression of his songwriting.  

Every song on, “Nowhere But Here “ feels cinematic by nature in that they all draw you in instantly and have you on the edge of your seat. We felt a treasure trove of emotions with each song, which made for a one-of-a-kind music experience.

In addition to the production from Field, Nowhere But Here was recorded and mixed by Jon Evans at Brick Hill Studio in Orleans, MA; and mastered by Mark Alan Miller. It represents a bit of a new chapter for Sherman, who self-releases the EP under his own Haddon Road Music. It’s indebted to his past work, but also clears a new path forward as his artist studio in Cambridge provides the backdrop for his various creative passions, from writing and playing music to painting to graphic design to running a successful voice lessons business for the past 12 years.  

Across its four tracks, Sherman provides vocals and acoustic guitar and Lane gives an inspired harmony vocal performance. To execute the full vision Sherman has for the EP, he also enlisted Field (string arrangement); Jon Evans (bass, lap steel, percussion), Mark Usher (guitar); Matthew Hutchinson (piano, organ); Matthias Bossi (drums); Dorothea Samaha (violin); and Eve Samaha (cello) to create the ethereal and expansive sound that emerges poignantly from the speakers.

Nowhere But Here” by Adam Sherman, is an absolute “must-listen”
