As if that wasn’t enough, Adrian’s teaming up with Charitybuzz to offer an incredible experience this summer, all for a great cause. He’s auctioning the chance for one lucky band to record a song and a music video at The Wreckroom, his private recording studio in Brooklyn, and receive a critique from Adrian post-session.
