   About Adrian Whitehead

At the age of five Adrian was convinced that the Beatles were the best synthesizer band in the world. He wore out his parent's Moog Plays The Beatles tape, blasting those futuristic tunes through giant 80s headphones. Imagine his joy when just a few months later, he discovered that the Beatles not only sang and played guitars, but were also human. Well, kind of.

Adrian’s debut album One Small Stepping Man was a long time in the making. Created over many meticulous sessions with producer Jak Housden, the songs have a warmth rarely heard outside the 1960s. Catchy vocal melodies, infectious hooks and harmonic detours make for compelling listening. The result is a beautifully understated record that shows off Adrian’s unique brand of songwriting and his years of multi-flavoured musical experiences.

The album received glowing reviews in pop pockets across the world, and was voted the 6 album for 2008 by Absolute Powerpop. Several tracks received regular airplay on Australian radio stations Triple J, RRR, PBS and ABC Radio. Better Man’s distinctive piano riff became the opening theme song of new Australian TV show, A Dave in the Life and You are the Sun recently featured in the finale of Channel Ten’s popular TV hit, Recruits.

Adrian is looking forward to playing at the Wurlitzer Ballroom in Madrid this September with good friend Bryan Estepa, and has been working on some brand new tunes for the show. He’s also looking forward to some good old patatas bravas and lashings of sangria.

“One Small Stepping Man is a purely genuine collection of catchy positive pop that resounds with originality…and when it hit...it really hit. This guy is good at what he does...damn good. The 1960s leap into the twenty-first century...and the results are astounding” (www.babysue.com)

This long awaited debut album is out now through Popboomerang records and is proving to be one giant leap in the world of pop! To get your copy now please visit:

Great music, Mr. Whitehead! And we really appreciated your kind words about our work! ALL OUR BAND are, most of all,  Beatles fans and your obvious (and great) "Liverpool" influence is definitely not difficult to realize and enjoy! We wish you even more success in your work and hope to exchange more songs and influence with you!
