Read more » ABOUT ADAM: Adam Sweeney cut his teeth as a songwriter in Portland, Oregon's thriving independent scene. His homespun acoustic style, gospel-tinged lyrics, and rickety banjo pay homage to neo-traditional troubadours like Dave Carter and Gillian Welch, as well as folk revival poets like Paul Simon and Cat Stevens. Now based out of Somerville, Massachusetts, Adam is celebrating the release of "Technicolor Halo", his second full-length album. The ten-song album winds its way from the local church to the local bar, seamlessly fusing themes of faith and doubt, darkness and light, chosen sinners and runaway saints. Engineered by acclaimed producer Dave Chalfant (The Nields, Erin McKeown, Winterpills), it features an A-list backing band of Pioneer Valley folk musicians. More about Adam »
