About Adam Gresko
Adam's interest in music developed during his elementary school years, the inspiration stemming from a college music student's presentation he attended. He began playing viola as a student in Marywood University's String Project. After experimenting with various instruments, he found drums to bring the essence of music he was seeking. He pursued his musical interest by joining North Pocono's Marching and Concert Band, Orchestra (as section leader), Jazz Band, Steel Drum Band, and Pep Band.
Adam has been a member of the Northeastern Youth Wind Ensemble and has participated in the Keystone College Jazz Institute and the Scranton Jazz Festival, as well as performing with the Act Out Theater Group. His most notable memory is performing at the Arts Center at the Berklee College of Music in Boston with various famous musicians during the summer percussion festival. In the jazz realm, he has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Wycliffe Gordon, Phil Woods, the Mason Brothers, and Christian McBride, among others.
An experienced rock musician as well, his band Strange Highways released their self-titled debut album in February 2022.
