Adam Gnade (/ɡəˈnɑːdi/ gə-NAH-dee^[1]) is a San Diego, California-born American musician and author currently living on a farm in rural Kansas.^[2] In his bio^[1] he defines his music as "talking-songs", which he describes^[1] as mixing the spoken vocals of talking blues songs with country music, Appalachian folk, noise, psychedelic folk and drone music influences. His work^[1] is issued as a series of records and books, which continue the stories of each other's characters and further develop plot-lines. Considered a regionalist writer, he writes mostly about San Diego, a bordertown city in Southern California, namely the area around the US/Mexico border, though many of his stories take place to the south of San Diego in the city of Tijuana, Mexico.^[3] Gnade also writes stories that take places across the continental US but according to interviews he's done these stories always reflect the Californian's experience on the road.
