Adam Baldwin w/ Mariel Buckley

Singer-songwriter Adam Baldwin has been a mainstay of the Atlantic Canada music
scene for over a decade. With his sophomore full-length, Concertos & Serenades,
Adam Baldwin - born and raised “inside these imaginary lines” that denote Nova Scotia
- offers an east coast testimony that challenges the typical tourism marketing gloss.
Through eight masterful yarns, the songwriter bears witness and pays tribute to a
tradition of desperation: sinners and losers, perpetual failures, and down-and-out
phantoms that haunt his home’s coastlines and back roads - without a passing
judgement. Some of the tales happened, some didn’t, and most walk a tightrope
between truth and fiction.

Starting as a member of rock combo Gloryhound before joining Matt Mays & El
Torpedo in 2009, Baldwin’s own music has continued to evolve since his award winning
self-titled solo debut EP in 2013. In 2016 Baldwin released his first full length album No
Telling When (Precisely Nineteen Eight-Five) featuring the singles “Daylight” and
“Anytime”. In 2019 he released the follow up No Rest for the Wicked, including
“Salvation” and “Dark Beside the Dawn”.

In March 2020, with in person performances impossible due to COVID-19, Baldwin
launched his Cross-Country Chin Up concert series, almost every Friday evening on
YouTube. In addition to making this weekly opportunity to connect virtually with fans, he
also raised funds for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia, Red Cross Stronger
Together Nova Scotia Fund, RCMP Fallen Officer Fund, and the Black Cultural Society
for Nova Scotia. The online concert series also produced two digital EPs: Chin Up
Sessions (originals) and Songs for the Parlour (covers).
