About Adam Sweeney and the Jamboree
Indie folksinger Adam Sweeney has returned to his gritty Northwest roots after spending the three years as part of the New England scene. He comes bearing a new sound that puts a decidedly more electric spin on his traditional folk and country based compositions. His latest release, Technicolor Halo, features an all-star backing band of progressive New England folkies including Dave Chalfant (The Nields), Dave Hower (Winterpills), Jake Jolliff (Joy Kills Sorrow), and Tracy Grammer.
"Adam Sweeney is blessed... with an impeccable folkie lineup, wary resolution of the tunes, and the determined conflict and recovery of wry and sweet lyrics." ~ Suzi Steffen, Eugene Weekly
"Portland provides more folk/rock fuse delight via Adam Sweeney, whose quavering voice and electric spin on traditional folk dishes out something different." ~ Monterey County Weekly
"Drawing comparisons to Dave Carter and Gillian Welch, as well as folk revival poets like Paul Simon and Cat Stevens." ~ Northeast Performer
"Adam Sweeney is one of the more talented young west coast songwriters." ~ Tom May, River City Folk, WFMT Fine Arts Radio
