WFMC Jams
WFMC Jams is an online internet radio station committed to bringing you original music as well as your favorite classics from a variety of local artists in the area. The station was founded on June 24, 2012 right after the Third Annual Fam Jam music festival in Manchester, TN. The idea came up as a way to continue to give back to the local and regional songwriters and performers in the area year round by promoting their music.
Sisters Rachal & Emily collaborated as the restless in 2016.
With over 400 live performance credits, the restless continue to find new ways to engage with listeners. Growing up near Nashville, both sisters began performing at festivals and songwriting rounds at very young ages.
The duo’s original song “Phone Calls to Heaven” placed number one in the Kentucky songwriting competition during the girls’ high school career. That same year, the duo performed at a national education event at The Galt House in Louisville, which honored and encouraged strengthening education.
The restless are the founders of “Songs for Change” an annual benefit concert focused on giving back to a charitable or nonprofit organization of the group’s choosing.
The restless define their sound as Pop with singer-songwriter storytelling, hints of early 2000’s style, layered with harmony.
Recently, The restless completed their first Southwestern/ Midwest tour titled “The Introduction Tour.”
In 2018, the restless began working on their first debut Pop EP titled “Change.”
The EP captures the many different types of change, and tells the story of an individual eventually becoming okay with who they are.
“CHANGE” EP is the restless’ most recent release and was released November 29, 2019.

Jamie Adamson has spent the majority of his life singing and writing songs. Jamie grew up between Alabama and Mississippi where he was either listening to his Grandpa Herman play guitar or fiddle around the wood stove in the back room of their old general store home place or watching his mother and dad sing in church. Jamie eventually became a part of those old gospel style camp meetings where he started out playing a snare and high-hat with Pastor Ray Thompson. Jamie would soon get his first guitar at age 13 from Pastor Ray and take his first crack at learning to play an electric guitar. The skills he learned early in life carried him on to Nashville at the age of 23. Where he honed his singing and guitar skills to the degree of actually becoming a working musician. Jamie toured the casino and club circuit for many years and shared a stage with greats like Steve Cropper of The Blues Brothers Band, Blind Mississippi Morris, Jerry Waddell, Ryan Larkins from CMT Can You Duet, Jennie C Riley, and Mark Collie. Jamie moved back to the Alabama Gulf Coast in 2015 and is looking to build on the music career he started in Tennessee. If you have an opportunity to see him perform you will not be disappointed. Jamie's songs are written with heart felt lyrics, coming from true life experiences, and filled with pure raw emotion.
