Biography
Award-winning singer/songwriter Kirsten Adamson (daughter of rock legend Stuart Adamson (Big Country, Skids)) summons the same heart-stopping purity as Sandy Denny, by way of Emmylou Harris and Kate Bush, with an engaging mix of heartland Americana folk rock.
Having recently finished recording Dreamviewer (follow-up to 2023’s critically acclaimed Landing Place), with award-winning producer/multi-instrumentalist Joe Harvey-Whyte, and impressed audiences and critics with sellout tours, festivals (including British Country Music Festival), and tours with Horse and Nazareth, 2025 is set to be the year Adamson creates some big waves.
“Adamson knows how to hold a crowd in the palm of her hand, her vocals are clear and powerful, her songs are strong, she is an all round entertainer.” (The Writers Room)
