Adrian West Band describes their sound as “Paul Simon meets Talking Heads." They play original acoustic rock songs and instrumentals, plus a few covers and a few jazz standards. They normally play as a five-piece, but for this show they'll team up with talented jazz pianist & composer Michael Echaniz on the Melon Ball’s Steinway, adding jazz sizzle to everything.
Adrian takes delight in setting thoughtful lyrics to joyful music. His subject matter might veer a tad dark at times but the underlying music is uplifting, giving the listener a richly layered experience. Whether he's telling a story about a skinny-dipping episode gone awry or grappling with some major challenge facing humanity, his lyrics are infused with equal parts hope, realism and whimsy.
