Adrian Conner – ‘Airport Coffee’

Adrian Conner is a very busy lady. Familiar to regular readers of Essentially Pop as one half of duo Beaux Cheveux (with Clementine providing the other half), Adrian is also the lead guitarist in an all female AC/DC cover band, Hell’s Belles. Now Adrian has a solo EP coming out, ‘SpazKitty’, on which she’s not only performed but also written, produced, edited and engineered. Adrian is certainly the definition of an independent artist and we’re not even going to pretend it’s a coincidence that her new single is named ‘Airport Coffee’, because she likely needs a few coffees (not necessarily airport ones) to get through all she manages to do.

Her latest tracks, ‘Lady Blue’, and ‘Transmute’, evince her style, which is a provocative blend of singer-songwriter blues, infused with elements of soul, rock, and folk.
