Margie Adam
Biography
Margie Adam is a singer/songwriter known to the feminist and progressive communities for her blend of passionate love songs, goof-ball humor, and thoughtful political observation. In the decade spanning the mid-'70s and early '80s, Adam helped to define and expand notions about women's music as an art form, a political force, and an industry.

While performing on university campuses, at festivals, in theaters and clubs, and at the conventions of many major women's organizations (NOW, Women in the Law), Adam created a recorded body of work on her own label, Pleiades *Records. Her albums include Margie Adam, Songwriter (1976), a solo piano album; Naked Keys (1980), recorded live; We Shall Go Forth! (1982), and Here Is a Love Song (1983).

Highlights of Adam's performance history include the thrilling experience of leading 10,000 women at the National Women's Conference in Houston in singing a three-part harmony version of "We-Shall Go Forth!" The song was later placed in the archives of the Political History division of the Smithsonian Institution. In 1980, the National Women's Political Caucus sponsored Adam on the first national concert tour designed specifically to raise funds for feminist candidates.
