Over the past four years Clarence Spady has mentored Adam and they have developed a special bond. Spady, a two time Blues Music Awards nominee, took notice of Schultz when he was 14 and has been a huge influence ever since. As Spady states, “The kid could really play and had the whole package. I felt like I was listening to myself when I was 15. One night at a gig four years ago, Douglas Schultz approached me and asked if I would give his 14 year old a lesson. I ended up giving Adam a lesson and was so impressed I invited him to sit in with me that night at Terra Blues in New York City.”
"Showing smart chops at turning in originals, he doesn't have to rely on frat party covers to make his point. Tasty set wise beyond its years, this cat is totally a real mutha for
ya. Check it out." - Chris Spector, Midwest Record
