ADAM HOLMES AND RACHEL SERMANNI

Two of the brightest stars of the music scene, Adam Holmes and The Embers and Rachel Sermanni, take their 2017 double bill show to Aberdeen and Inverness this week.

Adam and the band will showcase the much-anticipated third album, Midnight Milk, which features different instruments including, guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion and glockenspiels. “The concept is that Midnight Milk is whatever feeds you, appeases you, frees you of your desires and brings you contentment, even if only for a short time,” said Adam.

“As babies, this is breast milk. As adults it becomes a wide array of different things. For me reassurance, and the internal sustenance it gives me, is my milk. I wanted to capture the moments where we feel full, complete and calm. These moments are rare and precious and should be celebrated. I hope I am able to give people some of that feeling with this album.” The band play Aberdeen’s Lemon Tree tonight and Eden Court Theatre, Inverness, tomorrow. Joining them at both shows are Highland-based musician Rachel Sermanni and her long-time friend and accompanist Jennifer Austin on piano.

“The band and I can’t wait to play Eden Court,” Adam said: “This will be our first time playing in this venue but the Inverness crowd always make us feel extra welcome so we can’t wait to come back and see them on November 17.”
