A.M. Radio Indy

In a world saturated with algorithms and auto-tuned hooks, A.M. Radio Indy feels like a signal cutting cleanly through the static.

The Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter duo, made up of Adam Zoibi and Mark Munz, didn’t set out to form a band. In fact, their origin story is almost accidental — the kind of serendipity musicians talk about years later when everything suddenly makes sense. It was 2018. Adam had a gig booked and ready to go. There was just one problem: his musical partner backed out at the last minute. With a show on the line and no time to panic, Adam called Mark and asked if he could fill in.

Mark said yes.

That night changed everything.

What started as a favor became a chemistry neither of them expected. There was an ease to it — harmonies that locked in naturally, rhythms that didn’t need explaining, and a shared instinct for storytelling that felt less like collaboration and more like conversation. By the end of the set, something had shifted. By the end of the week, they were booking more shows together. They’ve been playing side by side ever since.

The name A.M. Radio Indy came later, inspired by the warm, analog intimacy of the music that shaped them. Think late-night drives. Think crackling speakers. Think songs that feel personal, like they were written just for you. Their sound blends Americana grit, indie-folk vulnerability, and classic singer-songwriter craftsmanship. It’s modern but nostalgic — polished but never overproduced.

And it’s resonating.

A.M. Radio Indy is becoming a more familiar name in Indiana’s live music scene, particularly in the welcoming taprooms and patio stages of beloved local breweries like Guggman Haus and Bier Brewery. At Guggman Haus, they’ve become known for drawing crowds that that are engaged and sing along with their songs. At a recent show they actually got a call for an encore…”one more song, one more song!” I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that happen at a brewery.

They obliged.

There’s something fitting about their rise happening in breweries — places built on craft, patience, and authenticity. Much like a well-brewed beer, A.M. Radio Indy’s music takes its time. Their songs unfold deliberately, revealing layers of vulnerability—often about people traveling the the uncertain roads of life literally and figuratively. Cue…Drive All Night.

Adam brings a soulful edge to the duo — a voice that can ache and soar within the same verse. His songwriting leans into the human condition: missed chances, second winds, restless hearts looking for home. Mark complements him with steady musicianship and a grounding presence. Where Adam reaches, Mark roots. Where Adam burns bright, Mark glows steady. Together, they create a dynamic that feels both expansive and intimate.

It goes with the territory that bands playing at breweries are supposed to play covers–other band’s music. A.M. Radio Indy does that, and does it well–from the Beatles to Tom Petty, Adam and Mark infuse themselves into those songs making the familiar feel personal. However, A.M. Radio Indy has their own music that, as Adam says, “You can get that for free-99 on all the streaming platforms.”

However, their originals aren’t…it’s time to go to the bathroom songs, or get another beer songs…these are lean in and appreciate the journey Adam’s lyrics are taking you on songs. The simplicity of the lyrics and the complexity of their playing are immediately captivating. About their song Montana, a patron recently said, “I came to be entertained, I left moved.”

A.M. Radio Indy doesn’t just perform — they connect.

Local fans bring friends. Brewery owners are now rebooking them in advance. Fellow musicians speak about them with respect — the kind reserved for artists who care deeply about the work.

There’s a growing sense that A.M. Radio Indy is on the edge of something bigger.

Maybe it’s the way their harmonies feel effortless. Maybe it’s the songwriting that lingers long after the last chord fades. Or maybe it’s simply the authenticity — two guys who said yes to a last-minute gig and found a partnership that feels destined.

Whatever it is, the signal is getting stronger.

From that unexpected night in 2018 to the brewery stages that now feel like home, Adam Zoibi and Mark Munz have built A.M. Radio the old-fashioned way: one song, one show, one connection at a time.

And if the static of modern music has left you searching for something real, tune in.

A.M. Radio Indy is just getting started.
