Born and raised in the small state of Rhode Island, Adam's hobbies include drinking out of water bubblers, being a bad driver but most importantly, being an avid musician. Fortunately for Adam, there are plenty of talented local artists cranking out great music to keep him company while he's sipping a Del's behind the wheel!  Adam is a sucker for jazz, swing & Swancore.  Adam has a history of performing music with several local musicians and at several different venues in the region.  To Adam, Glory Bound represents the best of what community-based music has to offer.

Tony Nimmo: Drums

Tony has been a drummer since his youth, with decades of experience playing the drums.  Growing up with family members also being musicians, and his father owning a music store, Tony is naturally born to be a high calibre musician.  Tony is well known for his several contributions in several bands and musical acts in the area, and can been seen blowing the roof off like no other drummer at any venue he plays at.  Whether it's original music, covers, or any musical genre for that matter, Tony will always have the groove ready to go.
