ADAM ROSS aka RANDOLPH'S LEAP 'Staring at Mountains' SOLO TOUR NOVEMBER 2021

 

ADAM ROSS aka RANDOLPH'S LEAP 'Staring at Mountains' SOLO TOUR NOVEMBER 2021     Staring at Mountains is the debut solo album from Scottish singer-songwriter Adam Ross; a sparse and intimate collection of songs which blend tenderness, wry humour and poetry, scheduled for release in Autumn 2021. We are currently booking tour dates for November 2021. Staring at Mountains presents Adam’s distinctive songwriting at its most delicate, stripped-back and sincere. The majority of the album was recorded in the historic setting of Delgatie Castle in Aberdeenshire and takes a great deal of lyrical inspiration from the Scottish landscape, with song titles transporting the listener on a journey from the Cairngorm mountains to Sanna beach on the west coast. Adam’s folk music influences shine through on this album which features stunning violin accompaniment from Pedro Cameron (Man of the Minch) and vocal harmonies from Jenny Sturgeon. Human relationships are also at the heart of the album, with Adam taking inspiration from observational songwriters such as John Prine and Loudon Wainright III.   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO   Adam Ross   Adam: “I wanted to present the songs as simply and honestly as possible. No overcomplicated production or digital trickery. Just the songs, sounding the way they sounded when I sat and wrote them beside a warm, glowing fire.” Since 2010, Adam has been making music as the lead singer in Randolph’s Leap, an indie-folk collective of up to eight musicians known for their joyful live gigs and prolific output. In 2018, the Randolph’s Leap back-catalogue inspired a touring theatre show called 'The Isle of Love' which depicted life on a Hebridean island as told through Adam’s lyrics. In 2020 Adam diversified his songwriting output, releasing a collaborative EP with Gareth Perrie under the name The Polychromes as well as a country-pop album under the pseudonym A.R. Pinewood. Press “Full of melodic inventiveness, freshness and positivity” - Folk Radio “Charm and character to spare” - The Scotsman “Funny, poignant acoustic arias” - The List “Ross is a songwriter who is both honest and charming, combining the strut and humour of Neil Hannon, the sincerity, vulnerability and softness of Stuart Murdoch and the lyrical wit and musical playfulness of the DIYDaddy, King Creosote himself” - The Quietus   Adam Ross   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO     PLEASE GET IN TOUCH FOR TOUR BOOKINGS IN NOVEMBER 2021 Dates may be available outside of the official touring periods so please enquire email: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk Click here to go to LAUGHING DOG MUSIC Click here to go to RANDOLPH'S LEAP
