Adam Holmes And The Embers

Adam Holmes crafts lyrics that resonate like old folk songs, set to melodies rooted in haunting slow airs. John Martyn's strum and sting, laced with a slice of Paolo Nutini soul and a touch of traditional folk.

The 23-year-old Edinburgh-born singer/songwriter is one of the brightest rising stars on the UK roots music scene, with influences from either side of the Atlantic mixing traditional and contemporary folk with his own brand of Americana.

A BBC Radio 2 folk award nominee, his debut album Heirs and Graces was longlisted for Scottish Album of the Year in 2014 and was also nominated for a Scottish Traditional Music Award in the same year in the Best Album category.

Live, he and his band the Embers combine the rhythm and blues, country and folk music textures of classic artists such as The Band, Neil Young and Ryan Adams and The Cardinals.
