At the ripe old age of 6, Adam decided he wanted to play the fiddle. He began taking lessons from Scott Gould at the School of Music in Kingsport, TN. His dad, being a bluegrass musician himself, then started letting Adam play a few songs on stage with his band and from there he took off. Since then Adam has appeared on WCYB’s Family Focus, CMT, Birthplace of Country Music Alliance’s Pickin’ Porch and the Carter Fold not to mention many other bluegrass featured radio broadcasts. Now at 10 years old he plays old time and bluegrass fiddle music as someone decades his senior. He is influenced most by Bobby Hicks and of course Hunter Berry of Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, but being 10 he still loves to play basketball, baseball, Playstation and has become somewhat of a WWII historian. Adam’s band, Mountain Time is made up of Josh Hamm on banjo from Johnson City, TN, Jason Duncan on bass from Gray, TN, Joe Honeycutt on mandolin from Bluff City, TN and his father Eric Larkey on guitar from Erwin, TN. Adam is a 4th grader and resides in East Tennessee with his Mom, Dad and little sister, Sarah Grace. Contact Adam Larkey at Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/adamlarkey
