= Adam Blackstone = Adam Blackstone began his career as a session musician in the Philadelphia. After becoming widely known in the area for his round, distinct tone, he caught the attention of Questlove of the well known Hip hop / Soul group The Roots. His first live show as band leader was at age 21 with Jay Z on his Fade to Black show at Madison Square Garden in November of 2003. This show, along with Dave Chappelle's Block Party event, were both filmed and made into popular documentaries that sold extremely well, and helped put Blackstone on the map.

Blackstone was an adviser to coach Adam Levine during NBC's season one of The Voice.

In 2014, he was recruited by Eminem for his comeback show after a 3 year hiatus at the famed Austin City Limits Music Festival. More recently he works with Justin Timberlake as a member and music coordinator of his band formerly known as the Tennessee Kids.
