In today’s music scene, it’s more competitive now, with big events featuring artists like Oasis and Coldplay. This saturation can make it challenging for other artists to stand out and draw in crowds. However, Adams remains focused on creating music that he enjoys and believes in, rather than worrying about trends or commercial success.

His latest album, Roll With The Punches, features a mix of hard-hitting rock songs and heartfelt ballads. While some tracks may have the potential to be featured in films or TV shows, Adams doesn’t specifically write with placement in mind. Instead, he focuses on creating music that resonates with him and his fans.

When it comes to performing live, Adams considers the flow of the setlist and how each song will translate on stage with his band. He aims to deliver a true representation of the record while also ensuring that the songs are enjoyable to perform in a live setting.

Throughout his career, Adams has always had cornerstone songs that set the tone for his albums. These tracks often act as the foundation upon which the rest of the record is built. Whether it’s a rock anthem or a heartfelt ballad, each song contributes to the overall balance and cohesiveness of the album.

The title track, “Roll With The Punches,” reflects Adams’s journey to independence as he navigates the music industry without the constraints of major record labels or management. It’s a testament to his resilience and determination to continue making the music he loves, regardless of changing trends in the industry.

As Adams embarks on his Canadian tour from Kamloops, B.C., to St. John’s, he remains optimistic about the reception of his music. While he acknowledges the challenges of being a rock artist in a changing music landscape, he is committed to staying true to himself and his sound. With a career spanning 16 albums, Adams is grateful for any attention his music receives and is eager to see how audiences will respond to his latest work.
