   About Adam Sweeney

“Adam Sweeney is blessed… with an impeccable folkie lineup, wary resolution of the tunes, and the determined conflict and recovery of wry and sweet lyrics.”
–Suzi Steffen, Eugene Weekly

“Portland provides more folk/rock fuse delight via Adam Sweeney, whose quavering voice and electric spin on traditional folk dishes out something different.”
-–Monterey County Weekly

“Drawing comparisons to Dave Carter and Gillian Welch, as well as folk revival poets like Paul Simon and Cat Stevens.”
–Northeast Performer

BIO:

Indie folksinger Adam Sweeney has returned to his gritty Northwest roots after spending the last three years courting the decadent New England scene. He comes bearing a new sound that puts a decidedly more electric spin on his traditional folk and country based compositions. His latest release, Technicolor Halo, features an all-star backing band of progressive New England folkies including Dave Chalfant (The Nields), Dave Hower (Winterpills), Jake Jolliff (Joy Kills Sorrow), and Tracy Grammer.

album coverADAM SWEENEY: Technicolor Halo

Stories of chosen sinners and runaway saints, laced with rickety banjo and sparkling mandolin.

Okay, so with a new Myspace, comes new blog entries. I know, you're thinking "Lu'kas, why would I care?"

Well, as always, my blog will focus around music I enjoy. Anyway, It wont have all that BS about the musician this time. They will be genuine blog posts.

Now The Interesting Part: If you like the song, I will provide a link that connects you directly to download that song. It's legal, don't worry, its through my online storage. it's safe and free.

Okay this is starting to sound like spam, sorry, but just keep an eye my blog. and get free music! hit me up later!

Aahh! Can't wait for the new stuff! How are you? I heard that Oregon has really good housing prices, but only because there are very few jobs. The minute I heard that, I knew Oregon was too good to be true.
