- On November 3rd, 1998
Adam sat with his girlfriend of a few weeks,
Jessica, at the Brian Setzer Orchestra Concert. While
watching the opening band he noticed the rest of
the audience was bored out of their minds,
and thought of how hard it was to be the opening
band. What would he do differently if he were in their
position?

- "I pictured walking
onstage with a flatscreen TV with me on it, talking
and singing. It would grab their attention visually
and audibly. Seemed impossible of course because at
the time the those TVs cost about $15,000, and to
really sing a song you'd really need about four
TVs..."
|
- "...and that was the
moment. I'm not sure how I stayed in my seat.
I kept saying "Oh My God" to Jessica. I wanted to
explain it, but the weight of the idea just kept
making me say "Oh My God" over and over.
I eventually let her in on it, and the following
week I had figured out how to techincally do it.
Obsessed with pulling it off, I bought 4
TVs
that I couldn't afford simply to make sure the
idea didn't slip away."

- Over the next several months
he wrote and filmed the first 4 sets and
performed his first show (and actually turned on those
4
TVs
for the first time) on May 7th, 1999. Over the course
of the year he filmed 15 sets and performed 25 shows.
Bars booked
4TVs
like any band and Adam made a fairly good dent in
the Columbus music
scene.
|
- It wasn't long before Adam
was ready to take
4TVs
to the next level, and on January 1st, 2000, he spent
the day saying goodbye to his family and made the move
to LA. Adam continued to perform "Hearing My Thoughts"
until February 21st, 2001 at which point work on a new
one-man show took over. Be sure to check out the
videos of all 16
sets.
