The brilliant interaction between Adela & Jude is an amazing combination of enthusiastic performance and authentic Americana. Winners of the Iconic Club Passim's IMF award - the duo brings to life the tall tales and stories of the giants of American music who cast long shadows over the musical landscape.
It seems today that a never-ending supply of bands mimic Americana traditions to give their sound soul; it's the musical equivalent of an Instagram filter. For Adela & Jude, however, Americana is their soul. When their powerful voices combine on songs like the steady ballad "Sinner Girl," the Western MA-based duo captures the gravitas of the tent-revival preachers they channel. Even as both take on several instruments at once, Adela & Jude perform with chemistry and a knack for the visual, with Adela on pump organ and occasional floor tom and Jude stomping on ground percussion while strumming away at various artifacts of the stringed Americana variety.
