Biography
Hailing from Cambridge, England, Steven James Adams works as an indie singer and songwriter whose profile rests equally on his individual releases and on his part in launching the groups Hofman, the Broken Family Band, and Singing Adams. In the 1990s he briefly formed the duo Hofman with Jay Williams; the pair then established the country-rock outfit Broken Family Band in 2001, adding bassist Gavin Johnson and drummer Micky Roman to complete the lineup. Across the ensuing decade the ensemble issued seven albums and EPs, after which Adams assembled Singing Adams by recruiting guitarist Matthew Ashton, bassist Michael Wood, and drummer Melinda Bronstein. He had already issued a 2005 release titled Problems under the Singing Adams name, whereas the four-piece unit proper followed with Everybody Friends Now in 2011 and Moves in 2012. The songwriter’s first album credited solely to himself arrived in 2014. House Music, that jangly debut, incorporated appearances by several guests, among them Justin Young of the Vaccines and Dan Mangan. His next solo effort, the warm and melodic Old Magick, was produced by Dan Michaelson and appeared on Fortuna in 2016.
