Three Fires

Singer songwriter from Sydney Australia. New EP ‘Three Fires” recorded in Perth Western Australia. Three tracks – Paris In the Spring, Force It Up and Three Fires. Melodic pop singer songwriter. n the 90s and the early 2000s, multi-talented Australian musician Garth Adams was enjoying a career most musicians would envy, playing guitar and mandolin in his own band and recording and touring internationally (England, Italy, New Zealand, U.S. and Canada) as bassist with a renowned celebrity led “pub band.” A visit to Austin, TX, which he calls “the ultimate singer-songwriter town,” to record at Willie Nelson’s studio around the time of that ensemble’s demise shifted his perspective on the more fulfilling future that was possible for him. Inspired to completely change creative direction, he began writing his own music, and launched a successful and prolific career as an indie DIY artist – which now culminates in the release of his engaging latest EP Three Fires “It was an absolute thrill to discover that I had enough confidence in myself and my songwriting to pursue my musical dreams this way,” he says. “I’ve come to believe that the best part of this business is that whether a song starts with a great idea or a crummy one, over time you can work it out and record it and it can be amazing. Over the years, Adam’s unique style has evolved into a folk-influenced pop style he calls “somewhere between Neil Finn and the Lumineers, with a little Coldplay and James Blunt.” Having recorded most of his music over the years with Melvin Tree, a top independent producer in Australia, at Linear Studios in Sydney the recording for the last two EP’s have been recorded in Perth , Western Australia at Melvin Tree’s Personal studio. While influenced by the Beach Boys’ intricate vocal arrangements in creating his own, his writing thematically often speaks of traveling and journeys, both physical and personal. “It was a happy session in Perth recording the EP and that’s reflected in the way it turned out,” he says. “Melvin, my longtime friend Dave Kelly and I play all the instruments. We work through the songs in a circle in the studio and once they were right, we recorded them on an old Studer analog desk. I was lucky to have some of Melvin Tree’s amazing music students to add the wonderful backing vocals”
