Adam Ross

Event Information

Adam Ross is a Scottish indie-folk songwriter. He is a solo artist and has also led the cult indie band Randolph’s Leap for over a decade. He is known for his unique brand of articulate lyricism which blends humour, poignancy, wordplay and offbeat stories. In recent years he has collaborated with C Duncan, Andrew Wasylyk and Jenny Sturgeon, releasing music via Fika Recordings, Pictish Trail’s Lost Map Records, Olive Grove and Fence Records.

Adam’s third album ‘Bring On The Apathy’ was recorded onto tape using analogue techniques, capturing the warmth, intimacy and personality of Adam’s music. It showcases some of the most emotionally open, lyrically deft and characterful songwriting so far from “one of Scotland’s most talented singers and songwriters” (Klof).

“Ross’s storytelling and songwriting is still second to none” – The Skinny
“In a fair world, this literate, funny, humane album would cement his status as a national treasure.” – Klof
“The Scottish Father John Misty” – For The Rabbits
“Ross’ lyrics have often been described as “witty ” or “clever ” but this sells his talent a bit short; his words are incisive, insightful, astute, literary, informed, inventive and best-of-all relatable.” – Resound Online
