Adriana Spina –

“A wonderful writer and singer whose time has surely come.”Boo Hewerdine, Songwriter”Reminiscent of a young Joni Mitchell, (Adriana) is gifted with one of those glorious achingvoices that just don’t come along too often… these are great songs performed with panache andpassion.”Acoustic Magazine”The depth of the album comes through its easy transference from thoughtful, longing beautyto potent ‘no prisoners’ expression. The music progresses through reflective thoughtfulacoustics to gutsy guitar drive, power-percussive statement…‘Let Out The Dark’ is a visceralstatement.” Folkwords.com”Highly accomplished…Spina sits comfortably within the sphere of artists such as Mary ChapinCarpenter, her songs are modern folk tales set within arrangements that can be subtle or rockout with some finesse..”Blabber ‘n’ SmokeScottish-Italiansinger and songwriter Adriana Spina’s sound is often hard to categorise. Fiercelyindependent, she has worked hard to craft her blend of Americana, folk and rock
