Adam STAFFORD

BIOGRAPHY:

A modern solo blues howler, Stafford started performing his intense emotion songs in the early 2000's, having been writing since he was 13 years old. He had began performing in 1996, playing bass with Bovine. 2005 saw him performing at songwriter night "Acoustic Kitchen" before recording his debut 11 track album, "In Faceless Towns Forever". The album was recorded by engineer Tommy Blair in a 24 hour session in an abandoned house. Stafford then decided to release the album in 2006 under the name Y'all Is Fantasy Island, a title he had used for a few years, and under which he continued to record. He also played in The Chuck Norris Machine, and in late 2005 rejoined Bovine on bass.
After a few years concentrating on Y'all Is Fantasy Island, Stafford returned to solo work in 2009, with the release of an album, "Awnings" in November. The album was recorded in an improvised three hour session. This year also saw Stafford venture into making films and videos (in particular for The Twilight Sad). One of his films, "The Shutdown" won a prize at the San Francisco Movie Festival in 2010.
In 2011 Stafford released a new album, "Build A Harbour Immediatly" on his own Wiseblood Industries label.
