Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds and rock riffs of the 60s and 70s, independent blues-rock
guitarist and singer-songwriter Adam Sweet has been carving out his own territory between classic rock,
blues and Americana for over a decade. With his band he delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing
richly detailed song writing, soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work.

With the band Adam is currently writing and recording the
follow up to his acclaimed 2020 album release ‘Sink or Swim’.
Since first taking to the live scene in the South West of England at the age of 15 Adam has worked in various
guises: solo acoustic, session player and band leader. The result is a consummate ability to switch from
sensitive singer-songwriter to full-on blues rocker with ease, as demonstrated in his countless live
performances and his output as a recording artist.

“Sonically, Adam is a guitar-slidin’ force of nature whose songs can fill a hall with their effortless verve.
Ranging from quietly desperate blues tunes to careening full-tilt rock, his approach is a testament to the
idea that less can, in fact, be considerably more. A young bluesman with an ancient soul and a large
presence in the here-and-now.”
