What exactly is a “live visual mix tape”? Local artist Action Adam is in the Red Chuck Studio to lay it all out. We discuss Adam’s evolution from physical making mix tapes to these amazing live events featuring live bands, video, projections, light, and more. We hear about the inspiration, both light and dark, for the work and we celebrate the joy of physical media and liner notes.

Adam’s next event takes place on April 19th at 5pm at LangLab in South Bend. And mark your calendars for the extra special show on July 26th at Stockroom East.

Check out a preview of the April show below:
