About Adam Ross plus Carla J Easton
Adam Ross is a songwriter based in north-east Scotland. He has led the cult indie band Randolph’s Leap for over a decade, releasing music with King Creosote and Pictish Trail’s Fence Records and Lost Map as well as Olive Grove Records and Fika Recordings. He released a debut solo folk album ‘Staring At Mountains’ in 2022 with Jenny Sturgeon and Pedro ‘Man of the Minch’ Cameron accompanying him on the record.
2024 will see the release of a brand-new solo album produced by multiple Scottish Album Of The Year Award nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Wasylyk. Creative Scotland have supported and funded the album in recognition of what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting musical collaborations of 2024.
The album is a heavily lyrical collection of warped 70s-esque indie-folk ballads inspired by Adam’s relocation to the coast. The title is Littoral Zone, a term associated with shorelines but also a nod to a style of direct, literary observations about the people, landscapes and states of mind Adam has discovered since moving there. The lyrics cover themes of nature, politics, aging, love and death and are surrounded by Andrew’s deft production featuring luscious string ensembles and brass.
Adam has a track record of playing at festivals and arts centres across the country such as Celtic Connections, Belladrum, Eden Court, Edinburgh Fringe, Findhorn Universal Hall, Lyth Arts and An Tobar plus venues such as St Lukes, The Glad Cafe and Stereo in Glasgow, The Queen’s Hall, Summerhall and Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh and The Lexington, Shacklewell Arms and Green Note in London. His reputation as an engaging, witty, storytelling performer was further cemented by his role in ‘The Isle of Love’, a country-wide touring theatre show inspired by his songs.
His music has received regular airplay on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6 Music including various singles and albums of the week. He has also received excellent press in newspapers such as The Herald and The Scotsman.
Adam is touring the album in 2024 with a 4-piece band consisting of guitar, piano, bass and drums. He is also available for solo performances.
Carla J. Easton is an award nominated singer-songwriter, releasing 4 critically acclaimed solo albums. She is also a member of TeenCanteen and Poster Paints, and has written songs/music for Belle & Sebastian, BMX Bandits, Hen Hoose & National Theatre Scotland. Championed by BBC6 Music, she has performed at festivals across the UK and internationally (SXSW, Pop Montreal, The Great Escape, Celtic Connections, Indiefjord and Pop Cologne) touring the UK with Camera Obscura, The Vaselines and Kim Richey.
In 2018, she released the SAY Award Shortlisted ‘Impossible Stuff’, produced by Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire/British Sea Power/Leonard Cohen) which featured singles that achieved Record of the Day, Guardian Track of the Week and BBC Scotland Single of the Week.
Her third album ‘WEIRDO’ was released in 2020 via Olive Grove Records – a record that Bandcamp Daily described as “all volume needles buried in the red, glitter bursting from every chorus.” The Line of Best Fit praised its “maximalist” tendencies while hinting that Scotland has found its own answer to the pop titans Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift and Pitchfork called it “bubblegum pop [with] the scrappy glamour of a homemade theatrical production”.
