Adrian and Meredith

Adrian and Meredith is a Nashville-based Bohemian Swing-Folk act built around rhythm, movement, & the shared experience of live music. Led by married troubadours Adrian and Meredith Krygowski, the band draws from Americana, swing, soul, polka, and global folk, while avoiding rigid genre boundaries.
 With them, you never dance alone. Meredith’s old-time fiddle and percussive dance (often at the same time) invite audiences back into a freer, more visceral experience, while Adrian sings from a deeply human place, relating how much more alike we are than different. Anchored by Ben Reiff’s inventive, worldly drumming and John Kveen’s driving upright bass, the band delivers a dynamic live sound. Syncopation & swinging rhythms, call-and-response vocals, what Levitt AMP has described as a “world class performance.” Longtime saxophone and guitarist Ken Wenzel create engaging, all-ages entertainment that welcome many backgrounds.

 Their music has taken them across Europe, where they have performed for Ukrainian refugees, using shared songs to create moments of connection and solidarity. They've forged kinships with members of storied acts like Legendary Shack Shakers, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Boris and the Joy.. They've appeared at the Grand Ole Opry as guests with The War & Treaty, FAI and APAP, and PACs nationwide, where their shows thrive on interaction, with the band responding to audience energy and shaping each night in real time. Every show is as unique as they are.
