London-based Scottish songwriter Adam Beattie is set to release his new album, The Road Not Taken, on May 11th at a special show in the spectacular Hoxton Hall in East London. If you're into Folk with Blues than you're in for a treat! Masterful songwriting with influences of jazz and blues create a cinematic feel to this fine collection of nine self-composed tracks and a co-write with Mairearad Green. The slow jazz beat of the opening track The Man I’ve Become perfectly displays Adam's heartfelt delivery and sets the tone for album From the blues-tones of The Man Who Loves Too Much to the melancholy jazz ballad Catch the Biggest Fish and Let it Go via Turkish infused 5/4 groove I’m On Your Side, this really is an album to savour.



I adore his breathtakingly beautiful sound where he mixes Celtic folk, American blues, country and early jazz balladry. Emotional but laced with wry humour, gentle but gutsy at the core, Adam’s beautiful melodies combine with inventive lyrics to tackle themes of life, love, death and hope. His exquisite voice and intricate guitar work fuse to create an intoxicating musical experience.
