Jeff Adamo
Rhythm Guitar/Lead Singer - Jeff fell in love with country music when he was first exposed to it in the early 1970's. He's an accomplished rhythm guitarist and vocalist who has worked with a lot of talented musicians through the years. He started out playing in rock bands, then gospel, and finally assembled a country band called "Possum Hollow" which was very popular on the west coast. He left the world of live performing to work for the railroad and raise his son. He moved to Idaho in 2020 and really missed playing with good musicians, so he started to build a band once again. He set out to find talented musicians who are also great people. It took about a year to find all the right people but it was worth the wait. These people are now known collectively as "American Tradition."

State Fiddle contest for the fun of it and experience a little fiddling
