Best local instrumentalist who deserted Atlanta: Adron

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Editor’s Note: Pick up Creative Loafing’s 2008 Best of Atlanta issue this week to get hip to the city’s best in music and nightlife. There was too much good stuff to print in the After Dark section, so we’ll be posting some of the critics’ picks here on Crib Notes for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned.

ADRON is a young, self-taught maestro with a nylon-stringed guitar. Her self-titled debut CD on New Street Records is a gorgeous reminder why it’s a shame that she up and left her old stomping grounds in late 2007 for the mean streets of Brooklyn. But her time away has served her well. Over the last year, her balance of quietude and quasi-Brazilian folk strumming has matured to a level that is far beyond her years. It’s due, no doubt, to her throwing herself into the mix of New York’s thriving musical environment. — Chad Radford www.adronmusic.com.
