Margie Adams was in 1947 born in Lompoc, California. [1 ] [2] Her father was a newspaper publisher who composed music on the side, and her mother was a classical pianist. [3] Adams began playing the piano as a child. [2]
In 1973, while attending the Sacramento Women's Music Festival, she performed during the open mic session and began her career as a professional musician. Soon, she was involved in the Women's Music movement, a school of music which uses the art form as a means of political and social as well as artistic expression. [2]
Her first album, Margie Adam, was promoted with a fifty city tour which concluded with a performance of her song, "We Shall Go Forth" at the National Women's Conference in Houston. The song quickly became an anthem for the lesbian-feminist movement and is now part of the Political History archives in the Smithsonian Museum. [4] [2] During the early eighties Adams performed at various concerts and fundraisers for feminist candidates and causes. [5]
Adams composed the Peter, Paul and Mary song, Best Friend (The Unicorn Song). [5]
Adams returned to writing music in 1990 and went on a national tour in 1992 to support her new album, Another Place. [5] In 1996 she embarked on the Three of Hearts tour with fellow pianists Liz Story and Barbara Higbie. A tour to raise awareness of the service feminist bookstores made to the women's community was conducted in 1998. [2]
Margie Adam continues to compose and perform at various venues across the US and Canada. More recent work includes, Avalon (2001), Best of Margie Adam (2005), and Portal 2005. [1 ]
