Summer More Than Others Back at Atlantic Show Tonight

Local jam band Summer More Than Others plays tonight's Friday Night Live, starting at 8 p.m. at Atlantic Station's Central Park.

Back in April, Local Notes introduced you to Summer More Than Others, a local jam band that has made waves in the past few months during its two performances at Friday Night Live, a free concert series every week in Atlantic Station’s Central Park.

Summer More Than Others is made up of three guys who really appreciate art. Lead singer and guitarist for the band, Adam Clifford, is currently working on a degree in film while writing songs for the band; the band’s other founder, drummer Matt Hummel, who has a degree in communications, creates profound poetry showcased on the band’s website.

The musicians of Summer More Than Others call the group a jam band, but their music transcends stereotypes with elements of funk and jazz. This past year, Clifford and Hummel decided they needed a bassist to help round out their sound. That’s when they brought in bassist Ian Edwards.

While working on a profile on Edwards, which you can check out here, we learned he incorporates his love for the rhythmic quality of drums into his playing style on the bass, a trait evident in Summer More Than Other’s music.
