BSW presents: Adam Sweet Acoustic Trio
Adam Sweet delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing richly detailed song writing, soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work.
Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds and rock riffs of the 60s and 70s, the independent blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter has carved out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana.
Since first taking to the live scene in the South West of England at the age of 15 he has worked in various guises: solo acoustic artist, session guitarist and band leader.
The result is a consummate ability to switch from sensitive singer-songwriter to full-on blues rocker with ease, as demonstrated in his countless live performances and his output as a recording artist.
Adam’s acclaimed solo performances with just his acoustic guitar and stomp box for company have seen him play every kind of venue, from the most intimate house concerts and bar rooms to theatres and festivals across the UK and Europe.
In this format he has supported dozens of bands and artists from Blues, Folk and Americana genres including Dr Feelgood, Sari Schorr, Laurence Jones, Beth Rowley, Martin Taylor, Cara Dillon, Chantel McGregor, Elles Bailey and Wille & the Bandits with festival appearances including Tenby Blues, Gloucester Blues, Trowbridge Folk, Sidmouth Folk and Upton Blues.
With the Adam Sweet Band he was crowned Introducing Stage winner at The Great British Rock and Blues Festival and was nominated in the ‘UK Blues Emerging Act of the Year’ category at the 2025 UK Blues Awards.
They have built on their success with triumphant performances at venues and festivals across the UK, including London’s 100 Club, the Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues Festivals and have “rightfully earned their reputation as one of the tightest live acts on the blues/rock circuit”.
2026 will see Adam releasing his next studio album, following on from his acclaimed previous releases “Live at Crescent Records” (2024) and “Sink or Swim” (2020). This show at the Bridge Inn will be a special stripped back “acoustic trio” performance, featuring Paddy Blight on double bass and Garry Kroll on percussion.
