For his 40th birthday, This Will Be Our Summer Records owner Len Neighbors will celebrate at Flicker, where he has invited beloved native Athenian Madeline Adams to perform a set of her heartfelt tunes. The show will be recorded by local engineer Jason NeSmith and released as Live at Flicker, a companion piece to Adams’ forthcoming, as-yet-untitled 2014 full-length. That album, the follow-up to 2011’s Black Velvet, is hotly anticipated around the Flagpole music office and elsewhere; if the sweetly abrasive songs the obviously matured songwriter premiered at her recent holiday show at Go Bar are any indication, it’ll be the full-blown folk-pop stunner we’ve been waiting for from Adams for years.
