Adam Wendler: From Berlin Streets to Nashville Hits
from Jrodconcerts: The Podcast · host Jamie A Rodriguez
Canadian singer-songwriter Adam Wendler joins the podcast to share one of the most fascinating journeys in modern music. From the shores of Lake Huron to the streets of Germany—where he spent years honing his craft as a busker—Adam has now found a "seamless fit" in the heart of Nashville. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of his 2022 album Motions and its 2023 raw counterpart, Motions (Acoustic). Adam also breaks down the lightning-in-a-bottle moment of co-writing the global smash "Austin (Boots Stop Workin')" and how he transitioned from his first band, Fermented Oranges, to becoming a multi-platinum songwriter. Beyond the hits, we discuss the emotional lessons he carries from his late father, the grit required to start a career busking, and how he knows a melody is "the one" when he’s humming into a voice memo.
