Ada Jane is the latest manifestation of the musical efforts of Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter Matt Marka. The band also includes Charlie Wilson (drums), David Strahan (lead guitar), Collin Neugebauer (bass), and various other guests, musical and non-musical, on various nights. Ada Jane delivers a varied sound style, ranging from moody dirges similar to the darker moments of Wilco or Bruce Springsteen, to rollicking, rousing rock ‘n roll that has been compared to Hüsker Dü.

In the years since the band’s inception, Ada Jane has taken its high-energy, jumping and back kicking, Springsteen-on-speed live show on tour in Canada(including an invite to the 2006 Canadian Music Week in Toronto and an invite to the 2009 NxNE festival), The United Kingdom, Ireland, and throughout the US including an invitation to perform at the 2005 Midwest Music Summit in Indianapolis, IN. Ada Jane has also shared bills with numerous national acts, including Centro-Matic, The Heartless Bastards, Evan Dando, Jolie Holland, and Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy of Soul Asylum, Maritime, Bound Stems, Ha Ha Tonka, and Eagle Seagull.

Ada Jane’s sophomore effort, Again…Again takes over where the band left off on it’s debut album, Never Been Better. Recorded at Humans Win! with Lance Conrad (of the Alpha Centauri), and with a little help from Chris Koza on keys and Dan Eikmeier on trumpet, Again…Again is an authentic hunk of Minneapolis music, embracing their hometown roots on tracks like “Sunday’s Best” and “I Just Want You Near” and expanding them on “Down The Highway” and “Found.”
