THE ADAM COUSENS STORY:
“Music doesn’t mean anything unless it touches people”, Adam Cousens says.
And in whatever way Adams music touches you, whether it’s because you just can’t get that catchy melody out of your head, or because listening to his meaningful lyrics makes you stop and think about what he is saying, he writes and sings gorgeous songs that will have your toes tapping by the first verse, have you loudly singing by the last verse, and have you calling for more when it is over.
His live shows draw the listener in, with rousing, energy laden, thought provoking and spirited performance. Adam has played in many varied venues such as grand concert halls, the Aux Trois Mailletz in Paris (famous for hosting the wonderful Nina Simone), rooftop raising pub performances in Belfast, Northern Ireland, sharing the stage with the likes of M Ward in the beautiful and picturesque Marion Bay, and in classic Johnny Cash style performing for prisoners at Risdon Prison.
Fiercely proud of his Tasmanian heritage, Adam is based in Melbourne but is constantly touring and playing all over Australia.
Adams philosophy regarding his music is plain. “I say it’s simple music, but with a complex message or challenging idea, music that’s for the thinker.”
Cousens will be heading into the studio in early 2010 to record is debut full album. More details to be released soon.
Adam Cousens nominated for "Best Solo Performer", "Best Blues/Roots Performer" and "Artist of the Year" at the 2009 Amplified Awards.
