Born in Ohio, Adam Hill has lived in Tennessee, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico before making his home in British Columbia. He�s collected stories all along the way that get incorporated into his songs and patter: the drinking-and-driving taxidermist he met in Rock Springs, Wyoming; the armed auto robbery he witnessed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; the Fourth of July spent dodging firecrackers and beer bottles onstage in Babb, Montana.

Adam is well versed in a surprisingly wide range of musical genres. Any given day might find him writing a classical score, tweaking electronic samples on his laptop, or performing the folk-roots music that has nurtured him since childhood.

The feature act will be preceded by what is arguably Victoria�s best weekly acoustic Open Stage session where musicians from fledglings to professionals can perform a 10 minute set for one of the most welcoming, attentive and participative audiences in town. Aspiring Open Stage performers can sign-up with the VFMS Host between 7:00 and 7:30pm to do a set but should get there early to improve their chances of getting on the evening�s line-up.
