    The BRENDAN ADAMS http://www.brendan-adams.com/ http://soundcloud.com/brendan-adams THE BRENDAN ADAMS GROUP Discography 2006 Pearly Sue.. 2008 17 Eternities.. 2008 Proof of Love (Solo Album) 2009 Ugly Universe (3 Track Pre-release) 2010 Better Days.. The Cape Town born artist Brendan Adams continues to blossom creatively through his years of experience. Brendan started with music at age 19 and with his strong poetic and observent background seemed destined to becoming a peircing songwriter. He taught himself to play the guitar and says that he learned to observe the world " by being a ghost that haunts the street corners in cape town." Brendans artistic influences include Sixto Rodriguez, Errol Dyers, Vusi Mahlasela, Bob Dylan and a range of poets and novelists.With 3 studio albums under his belt brendan is in the process of completeing a fourth album in Cape Town. Brendan also celebrates two of his songs reaching number one on South African radio this year. This is an artist that loves sharing his music above everything else, so watch out for an oppertunity to have the Brendan Adams Experience. ..The third album BETTER DAYS was released on 11 th June 2010. Created with a team of musicians originating from Europe to Africa it is exciting and colourful. Differing from the last two albums the music has taken on a shape that has access and relevance to a variety of listeners. It explores afro-centric rhythms that sway with popular euro-centric harmony's combined with soulful melodies that carry thought provoking lyrics. This album will inform and inspire listeners to feelings of hope, love, the beauty's of life and so called reality's and yet leaves room for your own interpretation. .. Latest Reviews „Brendan Adams ist ein Reisender. Nicht nur das er direkt aus Capetown hinaus in die weite Welt gestartet ist, sondern auch weil in seinen Songs diese Reise, eine offene Reise ohne Ende, hörbar und live gar spürbar ist. Eine Mischung aus Pop, Hip-Hop, Jazz sowie auch die typische Energie und Freunde eines leidenschaftlichen Musikers. The Brendan Adams ist eine grosse Sache…, eine seltene Gelegenheit, die man nicht verpassen sollte". Bewegungsmelder 2011 Die Stimme von Brendan Adams hat diesen Tiefgang, wie man es sich eben von einer Stimme wünscht. Viel Soul, wo auch mal jazzige Seiten erklingen." Wunderschöner Sound voller Wärme „Brendan Adams ist in Cape Town Südafrika geboren und bietet mit seiner "Brendan Adams Group" wunderschöne vielseitige Musik. Ein Singer/Songwriter welcher Songs über das Leben schreibt. Und die Musik verleiht jedem Song eine Wärme und souligen Touch. Brendan Adams (Singer/Songwriter/Gitarre), Alfred Vogel (Drums/Percussion/Backing Vox), Bond (Bass), Adrian Stern (guit), Hendrix Ackle (organ)), Kofi Quarshie (Percussion) sind die Brendan Adams Group. Und dass die Musiker alle die Musik lieben, wird hier deutlich hörbar. Jazzdrummerworld 2011 ..Jazzthing 09/08.. ..Upon hearing Brendan Adams one is immediately overwhelmed- and converted. Even on a superficial level his music is amazingly sensuous and appealing. Depth can be found in the details, in the warm lively sound of the band and the tailor-made rhythm structures, as well as the beautiful contrabass lines and guitar features... ..Wom 07/08.. ..It doesn't seem very modest when a singer/ songwriter titles his second album with 17 songs „17 eternities". One does however quickly forgive the South African currently living in Europe the big talk, because though in his songs there is more of the same present, it's dressed with such warmth and modesty that it makes you want to reach out and give him a hug…..
