On April 1st, we learned that Adam Schlesinger had passed away due to complications caused by COVID-19. We were heartbroken and quarantined, so we got a bunch of friends together online and decided to do the only thing we could do: make some music.
The range of musicians and bands represented here shows how important Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood's writing has been to so many over the past 25 years. Some of us got our full bands involved, while others recorded solo acoustic versions. None of us had access to studios, so we all recorded at home, some for the first time.
This tribute is completely free. If you want to support musicians, buy some music by Fountains of Wayne, Ivy, Look Park, Astrojet, or any of the many other projects the band's members have been involved in. There are also links provided below for the musicians on this comp, so please visit those as well.
Thanks for listening!
