Upon hearing Brendan Adams one is immediately overwhelmed- and converted. Even on a superficial level his music is amazingly sensuous and appealing. Depth can be found in the details, in the warm lively sound of the band and the tailor-made rhythm structures, as well as the beautiful contrabass lines and guitar features.

It doesn’t seem very modest when a singer/ songwriter titles his second album with 17 songs „17 eternities“. One does however quickly forgive the South African currently living in Europe the big talk, because though in his songs there is more of the same present, it’s dressed with such warmth and modesty that it makes you want to reach out and give him a hug…

Brendan Adams has a musical maturity beyond his years, with songs that express beauty, love, pain, humour and opinions on the state of living with his perspective from hard streets. Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, for Brendan as for most South Africans everyday is a battle for survival in all meanings of the word and this young man is not afraid to speak about the ghetto’s he knows. It is for this reason that he feels compelled to comment on the state of the nation and its people, painting lyrical pictures over the canvass of music for all to see.

Whilst travelling through the UK and Europe working odd jobs where he could find them, Brendan gained a greater perspective music and song writing as his constant companions. Brendan the nomad/adventure specialist met Austrian drummer Alfred Vogel by a simple twist of fate, and the result, two albums and three years later the music is still flowing strong.

The 3rd album, Better Days is in the pipeline and is scheduled for release in March 2010. Created with a team of musicians originating from Europe to Africa it is exciting and colourful. Differing from the last two albums the music has taken on a shape that has access and relevance to a variety of listeners. It explores afro-centric rhythms that sway with popular euro-centric harmony’s combined with soulful melodies that carry thought provoking lyrics. This album will inform and inspire listeners to feelings of hope, love, the beauty’s of life and so called reality’s and yet leaves room for your own interpretation. But before the release of this soon to be classic album,
