In hearing the name “Adam Herman,” you are already tipped off to one half of a theme that runs through his songs, and the music of The Slamming Doors. The Slamming Doors operate within the familiar. So your expectations may have you jumping to conclusions. Instead of being vexed by creative traps and pitfalls that victimize bands attempting to operate within mostly familiar territory, Herman navigates those traps and pitfalls with an ability that turns them into strengths not possessed by many. Into his cache of tools they go. The second half of the theme–you’ll experience surprise, delight, and excitement as The Slamming Doors both confirm, and transcend many of your early expectations.

Instead of heading toward the fringes of what’s been done in music in order to find creativity, Adam Herman is amazingly comfortable, and effective at creating compelling, memorable music well within familiar sounds and traditions. These are sounds and traditions many musicians assume are too mapped out, too well travelled for anyone to successfully create something fresh and new. And in the hands of most bands attempting to operate there, these sounds and traditions often do feel worn out. With The Slamming Doors the memorized map hasn’t vanished, or been rejected, it has become Origami.

Usually seen with his four-piece alt-country band Tony Sig and The Highway Line, Tony will be playing a solo acoustic set of his original tunes. Caked with the red dust of the iron range and washed in the Mississippi River, these songs will make you tap your foot and order another round of beers to cry in.
