Episode #25: Navy Aviation Ordnanceman Adam Gaffney

March 20, 2022 • Operation Encore • Season 1 • Episode 25

In this episode of “Stories, Soldiers and Songs”, Guy (Jaquier) and Adam (Rossi) catch up with Operation Encore artist and Navy veteran Adam Gaffney while he is recording his new EP (!) at AR Audio in San Francisco. During the podcast, they discuss Adam’s humble Midwest roots his adventures while shopping at Walmart, his military service loading weapons as a Navy Aviation Ordnanceman on aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf (including one particular moment almost having his arm torn off while casually leaning against an F-18), and his style of music that combines Neil Young and The Band with a touch of Tom Petty.

Throughout the episode, they play Adam’s new recordings of his original songs:

“My Dear Friend”
“For Being Someone”
“White Lines”
