The Adam Sweet Band
deliver brooding blues and roots-rock, balancing expressive guitar work,
soulful vocals and a powerful live dynamic rooted in authenticity and feel.
Led by guitarist and
singer-songwriter Adam Sweet, the band has built a reputation as one of
the tightest and most compelling live acts on the UK blues circuit. In 2023
they were crowned Introducing Stage Winners at The Great British Rock
and Blues Festival, with this momentum continuing into nominations for UK Blues Emerging Act
of the Year at the UK Blues Awards in 2025 & 2026.
Taking his cue from the British blues boom of the late
‘60s and early ‘70s, Adam Sweet has
been carving out his own territory at the crossroads of classic rock, blues and
Americana since first hitting the live scene in the South West of England at
just 15. Having
worked in various guises; solo acoustic performer, session player and band leader; he’s
developed a consummate ability to shift effortlessly from sensitive
singer-songwriter to full-throttle blues rocker.
The Adam Sweet Band
features:
•
Garry Kroll - drums (Mark
Ronson, Joss Stone, Sandi Thom, Elles Bailey, Andrea Bocelli)
•
Paddy Blight - bass (Hollow
Souls, The Hoosiers, Andy Timmons, That Pedal Show)
•
Thomas Hughes - organ (Nektar,
Eddie Floyd, Geno Washington, Danny Bryant, The Selecter)
Renowned for
their deep groove, dynamic interplay and expressive musicianship, the band
bring Sweet’s richly detailed songwriting to life on stage. Their performances
have taken in venues and festivals across the UK including the 100 Club,
Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues
Festivals, and supports for artists such as Wishbone Ash, Kris Barras
Band and Elles Bailey.
In 2024 they
released Live at Crescent Records, recorded and filmed live in a
single day. The accompanying video series has amassed over 100,000 views
on YouTube, capturing the band’s onstage chemistry in its rawest form.
With a new studio album due in 2026, the Adam Sweet Band continue to
establish themselves as a formidable force on the contemporary blues-rock
scene.
