    and many other digital stores! Check it out!
    ‘When the soul of the piano and the acoustic music is colored, alternated and mixed with the electronic world of the synth. An intense and expessive style.’
    ‘Empathy, like art, is essential in life. It is as indefinable as concrete. This album was created from the desire to tell it, share it, evoke it in music.
    'Empathy' is an album almost entirely instrumental, played with particular attention to the sounds and dynamics. It, such as empathy, contains different moods. The tracks pass through different cultures and musical expressions, in an electroacoustic music ensembe, stylistically harmonious’
    Have a great day!

Welcome to the Adams Family circle of Freinds!

Chris is a musician/songwriter with a mainly guitar focused style and a great Ability to attach emotion to his work.

Los Angeles, CA – For the modern listener, the UK’s Chris Adams is finding fresh relevance for classical music from flamenco to floyd! His latest project, titled simply “Night At The Oasis,” is a collection of songs that are floydian in nature but with many modern overtones.

On His album " Under The Northern Lights" we will find a contemporary revamp of the age-old favorite Pachelbels Canon.

Adams brings timeless pieces of music to latter day listeners who might otherwise overlook them.

“Canon,” a revision of “Pachelbel’s Canon,” is one such wormhole in the time continuum. Adams ably rearranges Pachelbel’s famed Baroque Period strings composition, using his accomplished guitar work to bestow this beloved piece with a personality in line with today’s listeners while still maintaining the beauty and dignity of the original version.

“In this piece I use a lot of three- or four-part harmonies on the guitar,” explains Adams. “I have introduced a nice, laid back groove with a relaxing feel.”

Adams kicked off his solo efforts in 1999, embarking upon an instrumental rock career. But by 2002, he had joined forces with John and Geoff Whitbread, described by Adams as “two brothers with phenomenal talent.” John’s vocal technique and Geoff’s drumming skills meshed marvelously with Adams’ guitar playing. These musicians, perfectly in sync with each other, found themselves moving in a more traditional “song-based” direction.

“I still write both instrumental and vocal pieces,” says Adams. His solo career is still going strong; he has three singers and a number of instrumentalists at his disposal for recording and for live shows. The music continues to be guitar-based with a focus on guitar virtuosity.

Adams’ previous albums include “Back to Jerusalem,” “One Solitary Chair,” “In Through the Soundhole,” “On the Rock,” “Streams from Bethel,” “Out of the Silence,” “Variations on a Theme,” “Requiem for a Mountain,” “House of Dreams,” “So Far,” “Sozo” and “I Was an Island.”

Adams has appeared on the main stage at the H3 festival three years in a row and several of his songs have achieved number one status on a number of web sites, including ..PeopleSound.com.. and ..Amazon.com...

But music isn’t the only product of Adams’ hard work. “One thing my solo career has produced is my partner and two children,” he says. “You never know where the music is going to take you.
