The intersection between energetic pop & intimate singer-songwriter is where Adam Paddock’s diverse discography feels right at home. Double-take-worthy horn arrangement married to unassuming, soaring vocals driven by familiar acoustic instrumentation is the formula; power-packed, community-focused live shows are the result. People are the point.

As strong of an entrance as one can dream to make, Adam Paddock burst into the Ohio scene when he opened for Waka Flocka Flame & MAX as his first full-band show EVER, in the fall of 2020. Since this grand entrance, Paddock has opened for other nationally-acclaimed acts in 2022 such as Jake Miller, Ella Jane, Truslow, and Anna Vaus, in addition to sharing the stage with loads of rising talent like Yam Haus, HARIZ, Telehope, Cousin Simple, Katie Lynne Sharbaugh, Spirit of the Bear, and more. This success led to selling out his debut headlining show, resulting in a near-sell out at an upgraded venue in February of 2021. Paddock is solidified his stake in the legendary Columbus scene with his headlining show, ‘COLUMBUS AGAINST THE WORLD’ at the iconic Newport Music Hall on March 4, 2023.

“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. Adam Paddock has been on my radar as the next up artists for the city, and I can firmly say that you need to have him on your watch list.” – Luna Mag
