By Dimitris (Bari) Polyzois
The Γιάννης Αδάμος is with us! The Thessalian singer-songwriter, just a few months after the release of his new album, comes to Faust with the call “Κόσμε γλέντα”. Joining him on the road is Λεμονιά Μπέζα on vocals, Χρήστος Κολοβός on guitars, Κώστας Αναγνώστου on clarinet and Γιώργος Ντίνας on percussion.
They're inviting us to have a proper knees-up with a set drawn from his discography as well as covers of traditional songs we've come to love.
So, a night with Γιάννη Αδάμο and his band on a journey through tradition as well as those "entechno" paths we've come to love. Special guest, our beloved Σεμέλη Παπαβασιλείου who'll round off this enchanting evening!
So come on down, folks, and party in a really warm and welcoming space at faust in the heart of Athens for a one-of-a-kind night!
Welcome!

A few words about the artist
Γιάννης Αδάμος was born on November 17, 1986 in Καρδίτσα. The traditional songs his grandfather used to sing in the fields of Σέκλιζα, as well as his father's passion for rebetiko and for Μάρκος, remain his most cherished memories today. In Καλαμάτα he studied at the School of Business Administration and Economics, and afterwards he lost a year of his life, as he himself puts it, serving his military duty in Έβρος, where he wrote a whole lot of lyrics.
He started writing little verses at the age of 12, when for a school assignment he wrote a childhood poem about spring. Since then, for as long as he can remember, he's written lyrics almost every night. At 13 he started studying music after finding his father's three-string bouzouki in his grandmother's storeroom. He immediately started taking lessons at a conservatory in Καρδίτσα, which he left two years later due to financial hardship. Self-taught ever since, he still studies music to this day, because, as he says, music is endless like our galaxy — the more you study, the more you want to learn. He plays tzoura, baglamas, mesobouzouko and guitar.
