Camden Joy

Camden Joy is singer and songwriter Tom Adelman. Having ditched the music long enough to write books (Liz Phair: A Rant, Boy Island, Lost Joy), he's making music again—this time, a largely acoustic album inspired by the U.S. Mint's Presidential $1 Coin Program. How does it sound? Like Tom Petty singing Hefner songs, i.e., American but strangely, archaically British. An agreeable thing, for sure. There will also be readings tonight from authors Darius James, Lonely Christopher and Matthew Derby.
