about

Recorded in three one-hour sessions, the fully improvised album, Perfectish, flirts with most genres — fingerstyle, flamenco, folk, funk, blues, jazz, rock, and even some surprise instruments. Are there mistakes? Almost certainly, but it’s hard to tell.

“I’m going to play some cool notes, I’m going to play some weird notes, but I guarantee that all the notes I play will be notes!” - Adam Baerd

Somewhere between a traditional instrumental album, a podcast, and a live improv show, the Perfectish collection feels surprisingly personal. All three of the hour-long tracks are named after a specific listening situation, such as For Pretending to Work or For a Longish Commute. The third and final recording, For Finally Going for It, even has an accompanying video filmed in the studio with zero edits or cuts. You can find that right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFSuL8NOT4Y

For those interested in the creative process, flow states, and composition—it’s here in spades. For those just looking for some nice background music, that’s here too. How does Adam Baerd feel about his debut experiment? Look no further than the title.

Adam Baerd Boulder, Colorado

Adam Baerd is a Colorado guitarist and songsmith. He’s also tired of third-person artist bios. Come on, we both know I wrote this.

I'm classically trained, but grew up on Ben Folds/Barenaked Ladies. I <3 flamenco ukulele and disco mandolin. I’ve played with Andy McKee, Eric Johnson, and my grandma.

Genres are silly
Love is wonderful but overwritten
You can improvise, I promise
