Adam Ezra Group with Jeff Kazee at Narrows Center for the Arts

Doors: 7pm
We don’t see many artists building the kind of momentum Adam Ezra Group is generating right now.
What has grown over more than two decades of relentless grassroots touring has become something far bigger than a typical touring band: a fiercely independent, fan-powered community that continues to expand one show at a time. Rooms across the country are selling out when Adam Ezra Group comes to town, with longtime fans regularly traveling across state lines to catch multiple shows, drawn by the band’s deep sense of community and the promise that no two nights are ever the same.
The band never performs from a fixed setlist, instead shaping each night around the energy in the room. Songs, stories, and moments unfold in real time—part concert, part revival, and part reminder of what live music can still be at its best.
Blending folk/Americana soul, rock ’n’ roll energy, and deeply human songwriting, Adam Ezra Group has built one of the most authentic underground followings in live music today while quickly becoming recognized on a national level. As SPIN recently put it, they are “an independent underground folk band blowing up without selling out,” a rise that has happened entirely outside the traditional industry system, powered by word of mouth, community activism, and a genuine connection between band and audience that often turns first-time listeners into lifelong fans.
Catch them now while they’re still playing the kinds of rooms where you can give Adam a hug on your way out.
Best known for his high-profile role as bandleader/keyboardist/producer for Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes and pianist/vocalist with the powerful piano-driven Early Elton Trio—Jeff's skills have led him through an eclectic career: touring and recording with Rock icons Bon Jovi, Folk/Pop singer-songwriter Dar Williams, cross-country tripping with SNL/Dylan bandleader G.E. Smith, performing and recording with Roger Waters, Americana with Southside Johnny & The Poor Fools, exploring the jam-band based frontiers with The Steve Kimock Band, greasing grooves with Stax legends Steve Cropper & The Blues Brothers and vibing with the inimitable Downtown soul of Chocolate Genius.
Kazee's many television appearances and presence on the NYC music scene have made him a fixture in house bands for many of the largest & most successful galas/corporate/charitable events—finding him music directing, writing, arranging & backing dozens of well known musical artists.
In NYC, Jeff maintains a Wednesday Residency with his Trio (with Shawn Pelton & John Conte) at The Club Room, located in the Soho Grand Hotel, and has a Monthly appearance with his Quartet at The Roxy Hotel.
Born into a musical family, Jeff was raised in Lima Ohio and is a longtime resident of Astoria, Queens in New York City with his wife, Constance—and has two daughters; Vassileia & Sophia.
Kazee has produced and written original songs for The Asbury Jukes' "Soultime!", "Pills & Ammo", "Men Without Women: Live From The Stone Pony" & The Poor Fools' "Songs From The Barn".
His recent album Thanks for Checking In is available on this website and streaming everywhere.
