Adam Pope & the Rebel Roots band is a high-energy country/rockabilly group based just outside of Nashville, TN. They combine the raw sounds and unbridled energies of the Sun Record era and combines it with respectful polish and substantive songwriting soaked in classic country music sentiments. Their show is woven together with Hee-Haw like humor and front porch storytelling. From the hilarious snapshot of relationship dysfunction captured by "Your Mom" to the intimate, patriotic, tearjerker "Soldier's Wife" and more, Adam Pope & the Rebel Roots take the audience on an emotional and entertaining ride.
There'll be plenty of stage rockin' due to dancing and if the stage is grass, it will be killed while only dirt remains. Band members are known to leap into the air while never missing a beat and you'll hear plenty of wild upright bass slappin' along the way!
Adam Pope has released several projects, including teaming up with Johnny Cash's and Carl Perkins' original drummer, WS "Fluke" Holland to record original music at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, TN.
Adam Pope & the Rebel Roots have played on the Music City Roots show in Nashville, TN; performed on RFD TV's "Midwest Country" show; and Adam is a member of the highly touted "Nashville Unleashed" roster of performing songwriters who are currently being featured in a TV series airing on Blue Highways TV, Angel Two (Dish Network), the Heartland channel, and more.
Adam released his latest album called "Ain't Over It Yet" in February of 2016. This CD features original songs and stories about this great country we live in. This album includes Adam's 9/11 anniversary song (the title track) which has been played regularly on Nashville's Newstalk WTN 99.7 FM by morning news host Ralph Bristol, who also makes a guest appearance on the album!

"Ain't Over It Yet' is a song that flawlessly and powerfully captures our emotions, fears, anger and determinations from 9-11 to today! I absolutely believe this song is anointed and an urgent reminder to stay awakened and determined to preserve our culture, liberties, freedoms (our Republic) under the grave, clear and present danger of this enemy. No other song has ever captured all the 9-11 emotions like this one. Powerful song, needed message and gifted messenger in Adam Pope!"
Michael Delgiorno - WTN 99.7 FM Nashville Newstalk
"Adam Pope’s The America That I Know EP opens with almost two minutes of historical moments recorded during pivotal times in the United States. From there Adam rolls into the first song, “The America That I Know.” Having written all the songs, Adam delivers a heartfelt performance on the material crafted from his beliefs and thoughts about America. “This Song’s For The Man” will resonate with people across the country."
Brenda Madden - Country Entertainment USA
“Adam Pope is more than just another country songwriter from the south. He creates music that I think people of this genre have been craving for a while now. Progressive, but traditional. It is easy to tell that Adam has been influenced by the country greats, and he does them justice with his songs.”
Paul Ruth - "The Independent Music Scene"
“A little country, a little rockabilly, a little roots, a little humor, a little love, a little lonely, ALOT of entertainment!”
Steve - "Overheard in the alley of my mind"
"I Was The Train" is nothing short of brilliant. A tribute to Johnny and Hank Williams that stands up there with Rodney Crowell’s "Walk The Line Revisited" or Alan Jackson’s "Mignight In Montgomery". High praise indeed, but truly justified.
