Description
Hey! Manchester is delighted to be promoting two shows (also in Hebden Bridge) for former Broken Family Band frontman Steven Adams with his new incarnation, Singing Adams!
Tickets are available from the bar, Common (both no booking fee), Piccadilly Records, Seetickets.com, WeGotTickets.com and on 0871 220 0260.
Better known as singer/guitarist/songwriter from The Broken Family Band, Steven Adams called time on that outfit at the end of 2009. A year later he’s back with Singing Adams, a new band kicking out super-catchy choruses, great harmonies and showcasing his trademark lyrical incision.
Melinda Bronstein (Wet Paint, Absentee), Matthew Ashton (The Leaf Library, Saloon) and Michael Wood (Michaelmas) bring a wealth of influences to the band, which comes off like a cross between Spoon, Syd Barrett and a Phil Spector compilation. But more fun.
Singing Adams’ debut album came out in April, with a two singles - I Need Your Mind/Amateur Reactions and Bird on the Wing – preceding it.
‘A terrific debut’ – Uncut
‘Lovelorn gems of modest charm and honesty’ – the Independent
‘An underrated national treasure’ – Q
‘His best set of songs to date’ – the Guardian
We're also happy to say that not one but two of our favourite local artists, Gabriel Minnikin and James Kelly, are supporting.
