Album Notes

"Big Kid Now is a six track EP by San Francisco post-folk singer-songwriter Adam Balbo. It’s a varied, brisk collection of droll, lo-fi pop that refuses to take itself too seriously ... Adam Balbo has that same innocent sense of wonder – a Seinfeldian grasp that songs about nothing can be as rewarding as any tackling the big themes." [Music Musings and Miscellany]

"“Big Kid Now” is undeniably a great pleasure to listen to. It’s sweet and inventive, funny and engaging, possessed of a ramshackle charm." [Alex Cleary, Americana UK]

"A six-song gem of low-fi, slightly off-beat songs that cheer my awkward little soul." [Song, By Toad]

"Perhaps I am reading too much into this one, but it’s a bit of genius. Adam Balbo surprised me. I really didn’t like this CD on first listen, but it grew on me. I have a feeling that this disc has highly addictive properties that may need to be regulated in the long run." [Wildy's World]

"His sound, will paint a visual for you, one where you will be immersed in the latest story he is telling you. Adam Balbo will take you on a fun, simple musical journey. Adam Balbo, good and worth checking out." [LoudVine.com]
