Ask Adrian what kind of music The Adrian West Band plays and he'll say "Yes." Or if he's feeling cocky, he'll say "Good." The real answer: they're a four-piece acoustic rock ensemble that plays uplifting original songs, catchy instrumentals and the odd cover. Some say they sound like Paul Simon meets Dave Matthews Band. Vocal harmonies, acoustic guitar, electric violin, alto sax, upright bass, drums and live "looping”. You'll get the idea here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDyLtSyOtII Adrian's approach to songwriting starts with the music. To be engaging, a song must stand on its own musically, independent of the lyrics. He usually composes the instrumental layers of a song and the melody that will be sung from start to finish before writing a single lyric. It's only when he has something with solid musical "legs" that he starts toying with lyrics and poetry that reflect both the mood of the music and his own musings, passions and concerns of the day. Ever the realist, Adrian's lyrics strike a delicate balance between life's ups and downs, hope and despair, poetic language and social justice messages. He takes a peculiar delight in setting serious topics to joyful music.
