27 year-old Edinburgh born
singer-songwriter Adam Holmes is one of the brightest rising stars on the UK
roots music scene, with influences from either side of the Atlantic mixing
traditional and contemporary folk with his own brand of soul and Americana. Twice nominated for BBC Radio 2
Folk Awards, his first two albums were also nominated for Scottish Album of
the Year in 2014 & 2017, and there is much anticipation as to whether he
can make it three in a row this year with his third album ‘Midnight Milk’. His first album, ‘Heirs &
Graces’, was produced by John Wood (producer of all Nick Drake’s albums and
John Martyn’s iconic ‘Solid Air’ album) and mastered by Simon Heyworth
(co-producer of Mike Oldfield’s ‘Tubular Bells’) and second album, ‘Brighter
Still’, features two-time BRIT award winner Eddi Reader on backing vocals throughout. His latest album was recorded in
his one bedroomed flat in Edinburgh, complete with full brass section, an
eighteen piece choir and a widescreen folk/soul/electronica production,
influenced by a 2016 collaboration with Adrian Utley of Portishead, Dominic
Aitchison of Mogwai and Martin Green of Lau. A rare solo tour, stripped back and
showcasing the songs, giving them the space they deserve. If you have booking
