Adam Cotton is an independent songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Born in Connecticut and raised by his single mother, Cotton found inspiring space in music early on, growing up with the sounds of Bill Withers, Culture Club, Springsteen and Bowie on repeat. When his family moved to Florida while in grade school, Cotton was introduced to bluegrass and folk scenes before moving to and studying music in Chicago where his affinity for blues and soul grew.
All of these influences pour into Cotton’s sound, blending powerful, soulful vocals over driving, blues-folk guitar work. Cotton has self-produced three EPs and is currently working toward releasing his first full-length record, to be entitled MYSELF, in 2026. He also currently works with other local and regional musicians in his space of hosting a monthly songwriter’s round in his home town of Jacksonville, Florida, while regularly gigging across the Southeast.
