Adrian West Band is a six-piece acoustic rock ensemble from Oakland. They play a fun mix of originals, covers and instrumentals plus some popular Jazz standards. Some describe their sound as “Paul Simon meets Talking Heads”.

A native of Montreal, Adrian enjoys setting philosophical lyrics to uplifting music. Whether telling a story about a skinny-dipping episode gone awry or grappling with the many challenges facing humanity, his lyrics are fueled by equal parts hope, realism and whimsy and ride atop a steady wave of catchy music.
