Adam Klein began his music career in vocals and acoustic guitar in his home state of Georgia, spending many years in Athens before moving to Atlanta, where he now resides. Throughout his career, he has had an affinity for creating folk rock and original Americana music. Beginning with his first album, Distant Music, which was released in 2006, Klein has had an extensive career and released a total of 10 albums. Most recently, Klein released Holidays in United States, an eight-track collection of overtly socio-political songs. Written primarily during quarantine, the album’s roots began with drafts of songs from eight years ago and has a tongue-in-cheek title for the songs’ deep origins. His lyrics reference various tragedies that have taken place in America since 2014, such as the shooting of George Floyd and the COVID-19 pandemic. Klein will share songs from his new album in The Lab at Ciné alongside Birmingham act Galactic Engineers.
