Adam Sweet Band

Hot blues/rock in Penzance

Since being crowned Introducing Stage winners at The Great British Rock and Blues Festival in 2023, the Adam Sweet Band have been rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the tightest units on the circuit. They have built on their success with triumphant performances at venues and festivals across the UK, including London’s 100 Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues Festivals, and the Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival, and they have supported the likes of Wishbone Ash, Kris Barras Band and Elles Bailey. In 2025, they were nominated in the category of ‘UK Blues Emerging Act of the Year’ at the UK Blues Awards.

Taking his cue from the British blues boom sounds and rock riffs of the ’60s and ’70s, independent blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Adam Sweet has been carving out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana for over a decade. With his band, he delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing richly detailed songwriting, soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work.

In 2024, they released ‘Live at Crescent Records’ with the accompanying YouTube series, which clocked up over 80k views in the first few months of its release. 2026 will see Adam releasing his next studio album.

“Sonically, Adam is a guitar-slidin’ force of nature whose songs can fill a hall with their effortless verve. Ranging from quietly desperate blues tunes to careening full-tilt rock, his approach is a testament to the idea that less can, in fact, be considerably more. A young bluesman with an ancient soul and a large presence in the here-and-now.”
