BIO
Justin Adams is one the UK's most original and inspirational guitarists. He was described by Robin Denselow in the Guardian as 'Britain's answer to Ry Cooder'. His solo debut, Desert Road, impressed Robert Plant and initiated their collaboration on projects including the now legendary Festival in the Desert. Since 2001, Justin has been guitarist and co-writer for Robert Plant's band Strange Sensations and played on Plant's Grammy-nominated album Dreamland. Justin Adams also features together with Robert Plant on the celebrated Festival in the Desert album (2003) in addition to the documentary film of the same event. Justin is noted also for his production work - including three albums by French band Lo'Jo who were seminal in creating the Festival in the Desert. His other credits include pioneering work in the early '90s with Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart, recording and touring with Sinead O'Connor & Natacha Atlas and co-writing albums for Ali Slimani and Cara Dillon. Film projects include writing the soundtrack for the film KIN (set in Namibia, collaborating with South African musicians) and contributing to the soundtrack of the Bosnian Jasmin Dizdars' film Beautiful People. Justin's individual style has also led him to work with Brian Eno, Hector Zazou, Peter Gabriel, Billy Bragg, The Indigo Girls, Moodswings, Hukwe Zawose and U-Cef.
