| www.tennesseeconcerts.com basically began with my work on the Kaleidoscope in the early 1970's. The Kaleidoscope was one of the first all-music newspapers in Nashville. Although the Kaleidoscope is no more, my website has continued the same concert and Nashville music scene format |
| The Kaleidoscope a Nashville music scene magazine in the early 1970's, including myself as writer, and my love for live concerts as a heavy influence on published stories |
| Advertisers in the Kaleidoscope Newspaper included the popular Nashville radio station 1300 WMAK AM, |
| www.tennesseeconcerts.com As a music lover in a town known as Music City USA, I, Pat Adams attended concerts and took many pictures from 1970-Present. I made many video recordings, at the request of local Nashville bands in the 1980's. Also, in the 80's, I was instrumental in helping to put together the "Creakers Ball", an annual event in Cheatam County Tennessee featuring the Winters Brothers and other local bands. In the early 2000's, after taking 100's of concert pictures over the decades, I decided to post my concert pictures on the internet along with concert pictures from my family and friends. After the help of others (and Ebay), my website now has over 200 pages and over 1,000 concert & entertainment pictures taken in the Nashville Tennessee area. I continue to live in Nashville, write, and take pictures at local events and concerts. I regularly receive emails from local Nashville music fans, as well as music fans from all over the world. |

Pat Adams words: I was born and raised in Nashville Tennessee, a city known as Music City USA. Being a music lover
and a typical "Nashville Cat", I started playing guitar as a teenager, and even auditioned to perform at Opryland USA
Theme Park the first year it opened in the early 1970's. My high school girlfriend and myself sang "Jackson" & "Both
Sides Now" on the stage of the historic Ryman Auditorium. Unfortunately, we failed the audition. I briefly played in a band
with a few guys from high school, playing songs like "Proud Mary" & "Closer To Home". Our attempt to play at the
Centennial Park Bandshell failed, after I plugged my amp in and got no power. It's probably a good thing, because the
Park Patrol would have kicked us out anyway. My "Pat Adams Sings & Plays The Beatles" CD is always good for a
laugh. I also did some reporting in the 1970's for 1510 WLAC-AM radio, and the Kaleidoscope Newspaper.
The Kaleidoscope Newspaper was one of Nashville's first exclusive "Nashville Music" newspapers. I did stories from the
set of Hee Haw, RCA Records recording studio (where Elvis first recorded) and The Farm (Including an interview with
leader Steve Gaston). I have worked in the computer field most of my life, in one form or another. In 2003, I started my
own version of the Kaleidoscope in the form of a website newsletter. I started a Nashville Music Website called
www.tennesseeconcerts.com after posting my concert pictures on the internet, then collecting concert pictures from
family, friends, Ebay, and even people sending me photo's and memorabilia. The website has grown to over 200 pages,
and is now one of Nashville's most popular concert websites.
