Adam Simons

Adam Simons plays The Folklore Rooms on Tuesday 8 September, with the night presented by Folklore Sessions. He's a singer-songwriter who'll be performing his folk album A Little Love.

Simons comes to Brighton from Nashville, though he's a native of the Arizona desert. He describes himself as 'born in the wrong decade', and it's a line that points to where his music sits. He grew up on the sounds of the 1970s, and that's the era he's returned to for his songwriting. He's found his niche in honest storytelling, organic instrumentation and the spirit of musical eras past — the kind of folk that doesn't try to sound modern, but instead leans into the warmth of the acoustic tradition.

A Little Love is the record he'll be working through on the night. It's a folk album in the truest sense, and seeing it played live in a room like The Folklore Rooms is exactly how this kind of music is meant to be heard. The set will be built around the songs from the album, so you'll get a good run of the record from start to finish.

The gig is on Tuesday 8 September at The Folklore Rooms, 12 North St, Brighton.
