Dominique Adams

Dominique Adams is a Winnipeg-based alternative-folk artist originally from central Alberta, known for her lush, thoughtful approach to songwriting that gently pushes the boundaries of conventional folk music. With roots in folk, jazz, and choral music from Western Canada, she beautifully blends elements of folk, Americana, and soul to create a fresh, eloquent sound characterized by her warm, lilting vocals and skillful guitar playing. Her music reflects a deep exploration of self, environment, and human emotion, weaving themes of loss, loneliness, and hope into intricate melodies reminiscent of "Chelsea Morning"-era Joni Mitchell and the balladry of Gillian Welch.

Dominique spent several years refining her sound in collaboration with local artists before recording her debut full-length album *To Keep* (set for release in mid-2025), a record infused with a hard-won optimism despite its exploration of pain and shadow. Prior to this, she released a self-titled EP in 2021 and has continued to evolve her artistry with recent albums like *Wood Eye* and *Part Time*. Her work resonates with listeners who appreciate heartfelt, contemplative music that balances complexity and simplicity with grace and sincerity.
