About Me

A self taught singer/songwriter based in Melbourne, Adam learnt his craft after spending quality time in the inspirational Ballarat Music Scene. An old stage performer, Adam found a love for the guitar and expressing himself through song. In the early 00's, Adam formed The Bullwinkles and had a nice run supporting many of the lands great acts.
These days, Adam is playing under the name Romantasaurus. The trio recently recorded a 5 track EP.
"I honestly feel that the new EP captures the essence of what we do better than anything else we've ever done. Jon's beautiful precision on the piano and Mick's haunting guitar work, continues to remind me why music is so important". The new EP will be out very soon.
Another Word For Romance, Adam's debut solo EP, was recorded in Oct 06 and features a cast of Melbourne's finest musicians. "It's a mixture of my past and present", says Adam of the recording. "I worked hard at trying to blend all my influences into this recording, while focusing hard on the lyrical content".
Another Word For Romance has received much applause.
Gigging regularly on the Melbourne scene, Adam and Romantasaurus are building a strong following. They sing and play with passion, because they dont know any other way...
A little bit country, A little bit soul, A little bit folk and some rock 'n' roll.
