Hammers and Adams Acoustic Duo was formed in July of 2001. They quickly built up an impressive reputation and repertoire and were warmly received by audiences everywhere. They spent years traveling back and forth from Illinois to Florida and are now full time residents of Anna Maria Island, Florida.

The addition of Joe Nuzback on drums in April 2008 completed the band and has not only opened new doors for them, it has taken their music to a new level.

JOE NUZBACK, Drums, was born and raised in New York’s capital district, where he played with the extremely successful band “Northern Star” which opened for many acts such as Johnny Winter & Joan Jett.

Relocating to Florida in the 80’s, Joe’s groove was solidified while playing with Sarasota based top 40 dance bands.

More recently, you could find Joe playing blues, being house drummer for blues jams both in Bradenton and Sarasota as well as stints with Johnny Rawls. “Hammers Adams Band” with its dynamic music variety allows him to incorporate all styles into his playing.
