folk @ temperance | John Adams

John Adams is a Welsh singer-songwriter whose powerful, emotive vocals and deeply personal songs create intimate, quietly captivating live shows — ideal for a romantic evening out. Blending stripped-back acoustic arrangements with subtle modern production, his music sits comfortably between contemporary pop and the evocative folk he was raised on, exploring love, connection, and vulnerability in a way that feels both personal and widely relatable.

A favourite of BBC Radio 2, Adams has built a substantial global following, amassing over 250 million streams across his releases. You may have heard his music featured on major TV shows including Love Island, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and The Voice. His songwriting has also caught the attention of other artists, with recent cuts recorded by Calum Scott.

His live performances have earned praise from Clare Balding (BBC Radio 2), Gary Barlow, and Carol Vorderman, who described his shows as “Sensational.” With over a decade of live experience, sold-out UK tours, and support slots alongside major artists, John Adams delivers a live show that is both emotionally resonant and effortlessly engaging.
