History
In 2000, the band formed consisting of the Henry brothers and their childhood friend and former cover-band mate Scott Boaz.

In 2001, alternative radio industry veteran, Christian Unruh (former Program/Music Director of 106.1 The Zephyr and FastBand.com) directed former Deadeye Dick front man, Caleb Guillotte, towards the young trio. With the producer, Caleb Guillotte, the band released self-titled album, Adams Attic. Eventually, Joe Blanchard and Frank DeSalvo were enlisted as the lead and rhythm guitarist, respectively.

In the summer of 2004, Adams Attic teamed with gold recording artists and producers, Caleb Guillotte and Mark Miller, to record ...in the Blink of an Eye. In January 2005, the band released the album featuring Autumn coined a soldiers anthem. In late February 2005, they formed an alliance with the Soldiers Angels Foundation pledging to give the charity a percentage of the proceeds from every online purchase of the album, ...in the Blink of an Eye, featuring Autumn.Due to the overwhelmingly positive reception of the soldiers anthem, Adams Attic was invited to make several appearances and performances specifically to honor the U.S. military. In the summer of 2005, the band toured from Miami to Los Angeles gaining attention and supported Lifehouse at House of Blues New Orleans.

Then, on August 29, 2005, one of the five deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history struck the north-central Gulf Coast region destroying much of their home in New Orleans. Through the devastation, Adams Attic was forced out of its comfort zone and responded by bonding together and stepping out on a limb.Leaving behind everything they had built in the hopes of recreating past successes, the musicians moved across the country and relocated in southern California. They had nothing but their gear. Relying on each other, they challenged themselves to produce positive and inspirational music.

Within three months of moving to California, Adams Attic began touring internationally. In January 2006, their first tour included stops in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. In July 2006, a second overseas tour took the band to Greenland. In July 2007, the band toured Singapore and Diego Garcia.

In January 2008, Adam's Attic intended to release their album, Skylines and City Lights. Shortly after making the announcement, the mother of two band members was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy throughout 2008.There was also a lineup change in the band. When Joe Blanchard left the band, Frank DeSalvo moved to lead guitar and Keith Frey was brought on as rhythm guitarist. With all of this, the band decided to rerelease or officially release the album in 2009. The music and the lyrics are written about overcoming trials by fire. Even in the midst of running from Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, the cancer scares of their father and mother, Adam's Attic had the unbelievable opportunity and privilege to tour internationally three times experiencing "skylines and city lights".

In February 2010, Adams Attic became the first runner up in the KTLA Battle of the Bands competition with 955 votes only slightly short of the winning bands 959 votes. The band performed live on the KTLA Morning News show for a televised viewership of 3 million plus.

In August 2011, Yahoo.com premiered the new "Where Is Love" video from the album, and KTLA-TV Morning News aired the video.In that same month, Adam's Attic was a "Featured Artist" on ReverbNation.
