Show Notes for Podcast #10 - Dee Adams

I met with Dee on several occasions, first at Merlin’s, then at The Brewhaus Cafe in Lockport, to record, as well as several chance meetings all over Buffalo. Dee is the hardest working musician in Buffalo. She’s plays more open mics and showcases as well as solo gigs and gigs with her band The Housecats than any other musician I know.
