In Their Words: "There is a hill at the top of Brooklyn that overlooks the lower buildings of the island of Manhattan. You can imagine working late, past midnight, in a city that's brand new and sitting there alone, looking into the East River, and finding comfort in the boats moving to and from the New York Harbor. Thanks to Buck McAllister for the setting, and Jacob Bloomberg and his expert camera work for helping us capture this feeling of the hustle bustle in the body of water that so many people have known in a moment of severe transition." — Adam Moss

WATCH: Adam Moss, ‘Stolichnaya’

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Adam Moss with David Moss & the Campfire Choir
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Song: “Stolichnaya"
Album: Introducing the Music of Adam Moss
Release Date: February 26

Every year since 2011, about 100 songwriters and lovers of traditional roots music convene for a week on a tiny island in Lake Winnipesaukee for an event called Miles of Music Camp. This year, for the first time, camp founders Kristin Andreassen and Laura Cortese invited a videographer to come along. He captured this night of mayhem around a bonfire, featuring identical twin brothers Adam and David Moss leading a rowdy band of fiddles, cellos, drums, tuba, banjo, accordion and marshmallow roasters.

In Their Words: "'Stolichnaya' is my anthemic drinking song from an American boy whose roots are in Eastern Europe. I've been singing this song for a long time, and it's always been an immediate sing-along. But I think the perfect manifestation of any sing-along is on a secluded island surrounded by some of your favorite people. David and I wrote this song after a hard day’s work, waiting for a huge musician gathering to form in Austin, Texas. It turned into a great party that night.” — Adam Moss
