Adam Barnes at Musik und Frieden / Tuesday, 27.02.2018

Adam Barnes is an Oxford born songwriter and performer, currently residing in the countryside that surrounds the city. He is a folk artist; a haunting songwriter and an honest performer waiting for some more people to take a step back and listen in.

The singer took his first steps into then world of singer-song writing in 2010, with support slots for both William Fitzsimmons and Slow Club. Adam Barnes spent a summer recording a debut E.P entitled ‘Blisters’. What was to follow would project him to the heights of mountainous ranges in the Americas, the depths of lakes in the Alps and obscurities of Supermarkets in Wycombe. With an increasing reputation of allowing any space to become a feasible area for a performance, Adam Barnes endeavours to instil his charmingly presented folk songs to as many people as possible. Having since released his debut album ‘The Land, The Sea & Everything Lost Beneath’ and recent E.P ‘ One Day We’ll Be Fine’, he has accumulated over 3 million plays on Spotify worldwide to date.

With the natural ability to capture the emotional sentiment within a song, to twist and perceive lyrics to compliment his melodies, and give you the opportunity to fall in love with well written music, at such a young age still you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking this man is telling you stories beyond his years.
