Adam Sorensen

“Some of the spaces that Adam James Sorensen shares are as wide as the mouth of a canyon, easily accessed and open to us without posing any danger. My favorites, though, are the ones I have to squeeze into with caution and care, trying to connect to the pain, nostalgia and truth about us all that’s not quite so comfortable.” – Bob Hill

As Adam James Sorensen’s lyrics navigate through personal terrain, the warm timbre of his voice evokes a subtle strength that embraces the listener with both arms. Returning to his native home, Chicago, was the catalyst for his newly released solo debut, MIDWEST. Evoking a strong melancholic undertone, MIDWEST offers Sorensen’s observations with a reflective and honest fragility.

Born in Chicago, Sorensen studied Anthropology at Western Illinois University immediately after high school, but was restless and left his studies after only 3 semesters. His desire to explore first led him to Salt Lake City. While there he renewed his focus on music, and performed, recorded and toured as a sideman with several bands. He soon relocated to New York City to pursue his music career, immersed himself in NY’s thriving music scene, and finished a BFA in performance at the New School University. As he began to perform regularly in both Europe and the U.K., he chose to again relocate. While spending his time in Barcelona, Edinburgh, Berlin and Paris, he continued his music career in Europe for three years before choosing to return to Chicago in 2009. As Sorensen’s life had remained in constant motion for well over a decade, his return to Chicago provided a context to both reflect and process. “Returning to the Midwest wasn’t easy, but it’s been healing”.

On MIDWEST, he builds a lush and distinctive sound with the help of an eclectic, highly seasoned group of musicians. The album was recorded at Forgiveness Studio with renowned alt-folk producer Evan Brubaker (Edie Carey, Rachel Harrington), and features a remarkable line-up of guest musicians that include violist Eyvind Kang (Bill Frisell, Beck), multi-instrumentalist Mark Spencer (Son Volt), cellist Christopher Hoffman (Henry Threadgill), Seattle singer/songwriter Rachel Harrington & mandolin legend Don Stiernberg.
