About this concert
Three top acoustic singer-songwriters take turns to present and perform their songs in this great venue. This is a more informal style of performance, and a great way to compare styles and techniques.

ADAM SWEET www.adamsweetmusic.com
Adam is one the UK's classiest blues/soul players and singersongwriters. He performs in a variety of formats: solo, with full band and often in partnership with Steve Black. His crisp, driving guitar playing is superb and he has a fine bluesy voice to go with it. The songwriters circle will be a chance to see his songwriting really highlighted. He is an inventive and original lyricist and an excellent composer of catchy and memorable tunes.
The combination of Sweet's sparkling songs and the economy of his playing cannot fail to impress.
Acoustic Magazine

Adam Sweet Biography
Independent guitarist and singer-songwriter Adam Sweet has marked his evolution into a fully-fledged blues-rock artist with his latest release Sink or Swim. With brooding ballads and rollicking rootsy rock he delivers honest tales of loss, longing, hope and strength in the face of adversity.
Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds of Free and early Fleetwood Mac, married to the driving guitar style of Rory Gallagher and the sweet sounds of Little Feat and the Allman Brothers, Adam has spent the last decade carving out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana. Working in various guises: solo acoustic, session player and with his own band he has developed the 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.
His debut album ‘Small Town Thinking’ was praised by Guitar Techniques Magazine for offering a “whole new perspective on the blues”. The stripped back acoustic EP that followed, ‘Take Your Time’, perfectly captured the essence of his acclaimed one-man shows. ‘Sink or Swim’ sees Adam return to his blues-rock roots with a timeless showcase of Adam’s expressive vocals and expertly piercing guitar work, cementing his unique blend of blue-eyed blues and soulful southern rock.
“Sink or Swim is a stunning album." - Alan Cackett
"Adam Sweet is an undiscovered gem and “Sink or Swim” is a real showcase for his talents lyrically, musically, and vocally." 9/10 - Maximum Volume Music
"If you love your vintage rock you’ll struggle to find any kind of fault with Sink or Swim.” - Slim Chance
“There is an honesty and integrity to Sweet's delivery that is very compelling and avoids obvious cliché. One of the most enjoyable recordings I've come across this year” - Fatea Magazine
"Stellar roots rockin!" - Pete Feenstra
"What runs through the core of all of these songs is a strong sense of authenticity and absolutely honesty that, along with the excellent riff work, is utterly infectious." - Listen with Monger
"A singer songwriter who has the chops, the phrasing and evocative songs to make ‘Sink Or Swim’ a splendid example of contemporary roots rock." - Get Ready to Rock
“’Like It or Not’ cements Adam’s reputation for delivering some of the sweetest blues this side of the Mississippi.” - Jazz Jurassica
“With Adam providing suitably laid back vocals and a divine guitar solo this is pretty much flawless, you could leave it on repeat all day and never tire of it.” - w21 Music
“A very talented young man who's not quite getting the credit he deserves at the moment. He's right up there with Connor Selby and a few others. I like it Adam!” - Harry Simpson (Still Got the Blues Radio Show / Saltburn Blues Club)
“Adam's gift is timeless, and his is the sort of voice you'll want to live with, the sort that'll only get deeper and stronger as the years wear on.” - The Blues Magazine
“He is simply among the most original and visionary young musicians currently on the cusp of widespread discovery.” - Alan Cackett
“Adam Sweet’s one of those undiscovered talents that, if there were any justice, would have been swept up by Jools Holland’s researchers long ago.” - Acoustic Magazine
"The vocals are just beautiful. If you haven't heard 'Take Your Time' then we invite you to take your time & listen again!" - BBC Introducing in Devon
"It may be a blues album but there is so much originality in the feel of the songs and playing that it offers a whole new perspective on the genre. We urge you to check this out!" ***** Album of the Month (July 2014)
