Adam Clarke first struck an indelible mark across the online collaboration community in 2004 with his debut release for the moving track 'My Angel'. Blending an earnest, working man's approach to songwriting with fathoms of emotional depth, he delivers a humanistic feel to the root rock he has so long adored. Drawing from well known luminary influences John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Billy Joel, Adam continues a long tradition of emotive singer songwriters able to lay bare their vulnerabilities purely for the sake of the story being told. Adam has an astute instinct for creating songs that flow smoothly through passages laden with memorable choruses and hooks that explode into soaring crescendos.
Singing since grade school and crafting songs on guitar for the last decade, Adam has seldom had to struggle for his material. "It's almost like the songs are given to me…as gifts". Adam commented during a recent interview. "You can't work too hard for it…it really has to be spontaneous". With the first listen to Adam's works this becomes very clear as his music does not sound labored or forced as it so often does in today's somewhat stagnant music market. In a craft where mere emulation has become more than acceptable, Adam continues to tread new ground with unique compositions that defy conformity. Moving through a selection of his songs the listener is constantly rewarded with fresh melodies, vocal phrasing techniques and instrumental interludes only loosely bound in common by a strong, yet ambient, signature sound.
Currently Adam is working on an upcoming debut release to be distributed through THE LOST RECORDS label in 2006. He will be planning some live dates in the New England area to gear up for the release as well. Until the album hits you can sample Adam Clarke's music by visiting www.macjams.com/artist/aclarke. If you love honest heartfelt melodies, intelligent lyrics and singers that deliver their vocals from the heart as much as from their lungs then do yourself a favor and tune into the talent that is Adam Clarke.
