Ryan Adams is a multiple-Grammy-nominated singer songwriter from Jacksonville, NC who has released a veritable onslaught of critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums since 2000. Among the most recent of these was September 2014’s Ryan Adams. Written and produced by Adams, the album led off with “Gimme Something Good,” the first vinyl single to go #1 at the Amazon.com music store, and entered the Billboard chart at career high #4. The album earned two nominations at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Rock Song for “Gimme Something Good” and Best Rock Album. In Fall 2015, Adams commemorated the release of his full-album cover of Taylor Swift’s 1989 by appearing as the first music guest on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, then opening Jimmy Kimmel Live’s week of shows airing from New York, playing (of course) “Welcome To New York” from 1989.
Among the other monuments in the Adams canon are: Ashes & Fire, his 2011 Glyn Johns-produced “”gorgeous, shimmering solo album” 2007’s Easy Tiger which opened on the U.S. chart with Ryan’s biggest first week sales to date and wound down the year with “Halloweenhead” making Rolling Stone’s Best Songs of 2007; 2005’s Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights; 2004’s Love Is Hell; Ryan’s 2001 major label debut Gold, which has sold nearly a million copies worldwide to date and features “When Stars Go Blue,” quoted in Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story and widely known as “”that Tim McGraw song the kid did on American Idol”” or “”the song the Corrs did with Bono”; and his 2000 solo debut Heartbreaker, released on Bloodshot Records and including “My Winding Wheel,Oh My Sweet Carolina (featuring Emmylou Harris) and “Come Pick Me Up.”

Ryan Adams is also CEO of his own PAX-AM label through which he has released numerous singles and albums including the 15-LP exclusive vinyl edition of his 2012 Live After Deaf box set that sold out its entire pressing in eight minutes. He has also produced albums for Jenny Lewis, La Sera, Fall Out Boy, Willie Nelson, Jesse Malin, and collaborated with Norah Jones, America, Cowboy Junkies, Beth Orton and many others. His current band The Shining has accompanied him on world spanning rave-reviewed tours since 2014.”

RYAN ADAMS and the SHINING – ” Red Rocks ” 17th August 2016

Ryan Adams at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Wednesday night was everything you would want from the eclectic rocker and then some, as he crooned for hours amid his arcade cabinets, vintage (and sadly, non-functional) Dr. Pepper machine and over-sized homages to Fender’s greatest amps. With haunting vocals, Captivating guitar harmonies. Hair-flipping and somber emotion. Goofy banter often drifting into the feline. Skinny jeans.

Reaching back through more than a decade of his repertoire — from “This House Is Not For Sale” to “Trouble” Ryan Adams tried to play all of the packed audience’s favorite songs.

He was on stage for two-and-a-half hours straight, with no encore, through 29 songs, including “Do You Still Love Me,” a new song presumably from an upcoming album.

Adams ran the gamut from his hard-hitting tracks like “Halloweenhead” to his famous cover of a Oasis’ “Wonderwall” and the melancholy “Dear Chicago.”

The show was the last of a relatively short summer tour for Ryan Adams and his band, The Shining. It was clear he wanted to leave it all on the stage, having as much — if not more — fun that those swaying and head-bobbing to his music.

“This is, like, one of the most amazing things to see in your life as a musician!” he said to the crowd.

While that intimate experience was something I will always remember, allowing Adams to show off his voice and songwriting, I was worried I would never get to bear witness to his earlier days of electric guitar shredding and soulful singing. It was unclear at that point if he would ever step on a big stage with the volume turned way up ever again, halted by the awful effects of Meniere’s disease. Any doubters before, they were erased Wednesday night. The songs were tight, the solos were ripping and Ryan Adams was flipping his hair and bending backwards as he lit up the necks of countless guitars.

He shredded through “Stay With Me,” nearly rapped the lyrics through a fast version of “New York, New York” and played a perfect rendition of “Magnolia Mountain.” “Nobody Girl,” a personal favorite, came toward the end of the set, starting slow and building up to a rocking end. During the show Adams never once touched an acoustic guitar.

He ended the set with fan-favorite “Come Pick Me Up” before walking to the edge of the stage with The Shining where they all took a big, smiling bow before disappearing into the wings.

Ryan Adams and the Shining performed at the iconic Glastonbury Festival last weekend, and you can watch the full set below!, This Sunday, American artist Ryan Adams took to the Park Stage in patchy denim to perform in front of arcade cabinets and a crowd of thousands.

It says something about the astonishing work ethic Ryan Adams has that in the 15 years since he first embarked on a solo career, he has released two books and 14 albums – on his own and with The Cardinals – and managed to fit in a period of “retirement” in 2009, and a comeback. This on top of various side projects, including the disturbingly titled Sleazy Handshake, punk band Pornography and the black metal band Werewolph. He’s a hard man to keep track of, and that’s just the way he likes it.

As befits such a mercurial talent, he has turned up all over the BBC, with a Zane Lowe session here, a Dermot O’Leary there, and lots of on-air support from Bob Harris, Jo Whiley, Shaun Keaveny and Lauren Laverne. Even BBC Four has had him in for a live session, filmed in 2008. The only surprise is that this is only Ryan’s second stab at a Glastonbury performance, having had to pull out in 2005 with an ear infection. Grab your chance to see him close the Park Stage on Sunday night, before he’s off onto another project.

Setlist:

Gimmie Something Good, Let It Ride,To Be Young, Dirty Rain,  Stay With Me, New York New York,  Kim, Peaceful Valley, This House Is Not For Sale,  Shakedown On 9th Street,  Band Intros, When The Stars Go Blue,  Come Pick Me Up,  Magnolia Mountain,  Wonderwall (encore).
