Adaline - ethereal and wildly hooky

Beloved artist Adaline is taking her brand of ethereal and wildly hooky pop to Streaming Cafe on June 2nd @ 10 pm.  This is the first tour in support of the sophomore release Modern Romantics (Light Organ/Universal Music).

Recorded at Toronto's Canterbury Studios and produced by Adaline and collaborators/co-producers Hawksley Workman, Marten Tromm, and Tino Zolfo, Modern Romantics has received rave reviews from music critics, and features some uber-cool musical appearances by Shuffle Demon Richard Underhill (sax) and Hawksley Workman (guitar).  Often compared to the likes of Fiona Apple, Bat for Lashes, and Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Adaline achieves near Judy Garland levels of melodrama on “That’s What You Do Best”, the stately electro-torch song that opens the album and stayed in the Top 30 on CBC Radio 3 for an impressive 12 weeks.  The music video for lead-off single "The Noise" had its online world premiere in Andy Warhol's iconic Interview Magazine, cracked the Top 20 on MuchMore Music, and garnered over 100,000 Youtube views in its first week.

Hollywood has also taken note of Adaline.  Shortly after the release of Modern Romantics, the song "Say Goodbye (I Won't Even)" was featured on Grey's Anatomy mid-season finale late last year.  A couple of weeks later, Adaline's song "Sparks" was again featured on the hit series -- almost back-to-back episode placements.  Other notable music features include 90210, Ringer, Royal Pains, Rookie Blue, Degrassi, Bomb Girls, Heartland and the upcoming Samuel L Jackson thriller The Samaritan.

Adaline will be joining CBC Radio 3/Green Couch Productions Tracks On Tracks, the ultimate Canadian rock 'n' rail adventure aboard VIA Rail, at the end of her headlining Western run.  The cross-Canada, five-day-and-four-night trip and music showcase leaves Vancouver on June 8 – with stops in Jasper, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg – and arrives in Toronto on June 13 in time for the NXNE Music Festival.

Get tickets for Adaline's Saturday, June 2nd (10pm) engagement at the cafe online @ http://adaline_streamingcafe.eventbrite.ca/ or at the Streaming Cafe
