Adam Schlesinger, founder and songwriter of Fountains of Wayne (with songs such as “I’m in love with Stacy’s Mom”, “I-95” and “Mexican Wine”, and “Those things you do”), died of COVID-19 related complications in April 2020.
His friends and colleagues from the music industry, led by longtime bandmate, Jody Porter put together a 2 hour live streamed video event commemorating and celebrating his life and work.

My friend Steven M. Gold, Adams composer partner of 22 years, invited me to contribute so I created this digital watercolor, which was used as a backdrop in the filmed event, held at Bowery Electric in New York, on April 28.
The event streamed live on May 5th and was deemed a huge success by all who participated, contributed or watched.
