Adam Szmurlo
I’m an active touring musician originally from the suburbs of Chicago with 17+ years of experience as a guitarist, bassist, and audio engineer. it all started with guitar at the end of high school, followed naturally by a deep interest in recording, all while pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with the intention of designing roller coasters. As more time passed, my passion for music and audio took over, leading me to a Bachelor’s Degree in Audio Design and Production, which allowed me to pursue my own musical endeavors. I currently play bass in Mighty Vices, a pop-punk band based out of Fort Wayne, IN. Aside from music, I love staying active through almost any sport and outdoor activity, but I primarily focus on golf, basketball, rock climbing, and hiking. Additionally, I’m an avid photographer and gamer. I love sharing my passions with like-minded people, and I look forward to the opportunity to help!
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Absolutely amazed by the personal service on our order! It is obvious customer satisfaction is a priority. Your company would be the first place we would look for music related items. Great prices, great service and BTW, even the little touch of adding some candy made my kids very pleased! Thank you!
