Adam Galblum is an accomplished violinist with a rich musical background. After honing his skills as a young musician under the mentorship of jazz icon Claude “Fiddler” Williams in Kansas City, he spent over a decade touring the U.S. with various bluegrass jam bands from Colorado.

Currently, Adam leads Hot Club KC, a jazz ensemble inspired by the timeless music of Django Reinhardt; and Shakedown Strings, an acoustic trio performing the music of the Grateful Dead to audiences around the United States.

Showcasing his versatility across genres, when he’s not playing jazz or Grateful Dead - or teaching his many private music students - Adam enjoys performing classical music with the Topeka Symphony, the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas in Fayetteville, and MahlerFest in Boulder, Colorado.

Adam’s solo album was released in 2015. Down To The Wire - The Stringband Tribute to the Music of John Mayer showcases his abilities as an arranger and multi-instrumentalist. It features members of Infamous Stringdusters and the original lineup of Punch Brothers.

Adam’s next album, Dream Dancing by Hot Club KC, will be released in 2025.
