Adam Paddock Named on Tuned Up’s ‘Ohio Artists To Watch 2023’
“This man hustles in a way that I haven’t seen in the indie scene in sometime. His enthusiasm and eagerness to collaborate is in your face. And this comes out in his songwriting, too. Indie pop is the name of the game here, but you won’t really understand his vibe until you listen. He’s able to tailor his sound for multiple types of audiences and will face the ultimate test this spring when he headlines the Newport Music Hall alongside Spirit of the Bear and Cousin Simple.”

Live Show Review: Adam Paddock (Tongue Tied Mag)
“This show held a joyous hangover of energy for me well into the following day, and it truly epitomizes the essence of the Columbus music scene. The home of both Caamp and Twenty One Pilots, Columbus values the artists that are exuberant, diverse, and driven by community and connection. The musicians on this bill all genuinely wanted to experience the show in full force with the crowd, and the reciprocation of energy kept spirits high long after the last chord was played to the delight of everyone in attendance. Both Cousin Simple and Adam Paddock have been on my radar as the next up artists for the city, and after finally getting to catch both at a show, I can firmly say that you need to have both on your watch list. The sounds coming out of Columbus are just simply off the charts, and these two artists are running the game by leaps and bounds.”
