“Adam Nitti has always played the bass with a lot of energy. His performance on Liminal, his latest CD release, is no exception. Surrounding himself with a first-rate band, including Mike Whittaker on keyboards, Shane Theriot on guitar, Marcus Finnie on drums and Jeff Coffin on tenor sax, Nitti’s newest effort is outstanding on many levels. First off is the fact that Nitti not only produced the album, but also composed and arranged all the tunes, which he performs using a combination of 5- and 6-string basses. Careful not to make Liminal “just another bass record,” Adam takes an unselfish approach, giving plenty of room to the other band members to stretch out, treating everyone with equal importance…”

Adam once again joins forces with Keith Carlock, Tom Hemby, Mike Whittaker, and Mark Douthit Thursday, January 28th at 3rd & Lindsley, Nashville, TN.

Keith Carlock currently tours with the legendary Steely Dan, and has also performed or recorded with such musical phenoms as Sting, Faith Hill, Wayne Krantz, Harry Belafonte, Chris Botti, Richard Bona, and the late Grover Washington, Jr. He is heralded as one of the greatest drummers of all time. In 2006, he was honored by being named “#2 Best All-Around Drummer” in Modern Drummer’s Readers Poll, finishing second to the legendary Vinnie Colaiuta. 2007’s poll results tagged Keith as “#2 Best Pop Drummer” and #3 Best All-Around Drummer (following only to Steve Gadd and Vinnie Colaiuta.) In 2008, Keith was honored with winning the “Pop” category and being voted 3rd “Best All-Around” in Modern Drummer’s Readers Poll.
Mike Whittaker recently moved to Nashville from L.A. and brings with him a star-studded performance resume and successful production career. He has appeared with such artists as Warren Hill, Cake, Wayman Tisdale, Mindi Aibair, Jeff Golub, Eric Marienthal, Lionel Richie, Brenda Russell, Stacie Orrico. Mike also has also written scores for such television series as America’s Most Wanted, X-Men, Paranoia, Addam’s Family Values, and the Michael Jordan Story. His highly acclaimed “Modern World” album projects blend elements of Jazz, Fusion, and World Music, and feature an impressive collection of some of the best players in L.A. and Nashville. Mike is also a member of the Adam Nitti Band.

His recording credits include such artists as Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Peter Cetera, Rob Thomas, Faith Hill, Steve Winwood, and many others. Tom’s songwriting credits are no less impressive. He has written songs that have been recorded by Amy Grant, Faith Hill, Hank Williams Jr., Bebe and Cece Winans, Dionne Warwick, and Michael English. Tom has also won a Grammy for his work producing Bill Carroll, as well as 4 Dove Awards. His solo acoustic project released in 2004 was named “Instrumental Album of the Year.”
