“The Life of a Musician” will premiere on PBS Appalachia’s & Blue Ridge PBS’ broadcast platforms and be available for nationwide streaming via the PBS Video App (PBS Passport). Additionally, episodes will also be broadcast through additional PBS member stations across the Southeast and beyond. “There’s a raw beauty in capturing an artist with no script, no big stage, just a conversation and a guitar,” says Jacob Dellinger, the series’ Director and Editor. “This season captures that spirit even more than ever before.”

Produced in collaboration with Gerst House Productions, the series benefits from Adams’ deep ties to the music community and his passion for telling musicians’ personal stories. Season 3 continues the show's tradition of providing an unfiltered look at the life, struggles, humor, and triumphs of working musicians. “The Life of a Musician” is proudly supported by Santa Cruz Guitar Company, Peluso Microphone Lab, Paige Capo, Calton Cases, and LR Baggs, with additional support from regional partners who believe in the power of storytelling through music.
