Your dark humor, satieted
About Adam Stockman
Adam Stockman is a Portland-based songwriter, performer, and filmmaker whose work blends sharp lyricism, theatrical storytelling, and dynamic piano performance.
His work is driven by language. Dense, rhythmic, and layered with double meanings, his songs move quickly between humor and emotional depth, using wit as an entry point before opening into something more vulnerable and human.
As a performer, Adam operates in the space between concert and theatre. His live shows are built for close connection, shaped by presence, responsiveness, and a strong awareness of the room. The result is a performance that can feel playful one moment and deeply personal the next, without losing momentum.
His solo cabaret, Lemonade in World War III, reflects this approach: a body of work concerned with how people find meaning, connection, and even joy in uncertain or overwhelming times.
