BIO-things...:
I am a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. As Arthur Adam I write, sing and play my own sensitive tunes. Small songs, suitable for on radios and in daydreams (since it is not really common for music to be meant to listen to anymore, I might as well state: my music is meant for (your) ears).
But I am not your average hopeless romantic, although I tend to lose hope and cling to romantic hippie ideals. I sing about love, doubt and often about the strangeness and awkwardness of everyday life...
Besides that: My rocky tunes are played by THE NEW. Übermelodical energetic pop and rock songs. Over-the-top-pop!
And: I play with the trashy funky bluesy rockband PELT
For a short acoustic special overview of my music check out the special elevator session I did for the famous Dutch webchannel 3voor12 (the day before me Jon Spencer was there, recently Glen Hansard (Oscar winning singer/composer from the Frames) did the same session too...):

cool!
or check these out, a few of my many faces/styles/songs:
You say you need me (a bluesy tune, Live at Ekko, Utrecht)
Happy Hangover, (laidback, jazzy, live at the Frascati Theater in Amsterdam (recorded by K. de Kruijf)
West Ferry Home (live at the actual ferry the song is about, especially for Dutch Webzine and underground network 3voor12) also with interview in Dutch
If you were wondering why THE NEW was started: check out Arthur Adam playing his song Rock n Roll (1-person over-the-top-pop...)
Hoi Arthur, Bedankt voor de uitnodiging! Ik heb meteen maar even je 'in a cabin with' CD gedownload. Enkele nummers had ik natuurlijk al in fantasio gehoord, maar toch was ik wederom onder de indruk... Hopelijk tot gauw een keer in Skek of ergens anders! Groet, Joep

Hey Arthur! Ik had echt heel graag langs willen komen op Kaderock vanmiddag. Maar we hebben een huisuitje en gaan wakeboarden, en dat valt net tijdens jouw optreden! Helaas helaas! Misschien komen we daarna nog wel even kijken, misschien bij Wouter Hamel ofzo. Ben jij er dan ook nog? Liefs, Carlijn
Hey, bedankt voor 't accepteren. Mooie nummers heb je, sommige vocale uithalen klinken bijna eng Buckley (da's een compliment)! En Things Are Moving had zo op Agaetys Birjun van Sigur kunnen staan... Maar goed, ik ga je cd zeker downloaden om meer te luisteren, Grtz, M
Cool dat je het nog weet van de Bronzen Buurvrouw. Ik zie dat je zelf ook nog steed goed bezig bent. Ik ga morgen die prachtplaat even downloaden op me werk en me luisterende oor goed de kost geven. Ik ben benieuwd. Succes met muziek en misschien zien we mekaar nog eens ergens..
