So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
As a solo project, Adam Eaton. But I am often joined by my Norwegian band mates.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
People have said that the sound of the debut EP has a modern folk/alternative country feel to it.
What do you love about making music?
I love a creative lifestyle. I guess there are lots of reasons why I write songs, self expression and the simple fact that I enjoy it.
What do you hate about the music industry?
How there are not enough radio stations in Australia that support Australian music.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Townes Van Zandt, because he’s my favourite songwriter and of course it would be great to show him some songs.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
Assassination sound a little harsh, but I guess it would be nice to hear a little less of factory made pop music on our radio stations.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
My band and I have a lot of fun and have a lot of good energy on stage.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
At the moment I have my debut EP You And I And Us About to be released.
When’s the gig and with who?
On Sunday March 4 at the Toff In Town. I will be releasing my debut EP You And I And Us With my amazing Norwegian band mates, a Tassie bass player and Garrett Costigan on pedal steel guitar. Emily Ullman and Kids With Kake will be playing on the night also. The doors open at 7.30 PM.
