Tonight at 6pm we have Adam Sweet playing in The Barrel! He delivers brooding blues and rootsy rock, balancing richly detailed song writing with soulful vocals and expertly piercing guitar work. This independent blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter has carved out his own territory between classic rock, blues and Americana. His band was crowned Introducing Stage winners at The Great British Rock and Blues Festival in 2023 and since then 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, the Brudenell Social Club, Sidmouth & Rye International Jazz & Blues Festivals, Upton 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. “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.” Adam’s reputation continues to grow with every show and recent performances have included the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, London's iconic 100 Club and a headline slot at the Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival in Colne. In 2025 they were nominated in the category of ‘UK Blues Emerging Act of the Year’ at the UK Blues Awards. What more do you want? Yes we also have lots of great beer. Open at 4pm.
