Adam Eckersley is an Australian vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter originating from Grafton, New South Wales. Previously, he served as the lead singer and guitarist for the acclaimed blues group Bluezone. Currently, he is signed with Universal Music Australia. Eckersley is married to fellow musician and country singer-songwriter Brooke McClymont of the band The McClymonts.

Early life

Hailing from Grafton, Eckersley relocated to Tamworth, New South Wales after completing his studies at Mcauley Catholic College in 1999, accompanied by his brothers Mark and Ryan. He now lives on the Mid North Coast, New South Wales.

Career

With years of professional experience, Eckersley was appointed ambassador for the 2008 Australian Blues Music Festival. Endorsed by Fender Australia and Lee Oskar Harmonicas, he has appeared at prominent events such as the Byron Bay Blues & Roots Festival and Darling Harbour Jazz Festival. Throughout his career, he has performed alongside notable Australian guitarists including Phil Emmanuel, Mal Eastick, Phil Manning, Matt Taylor from Chain, Kevin Borich, and Izzy Ismanovich of The Screaming Jets.

In 2010, Eckersley established the five-member Adam Eckersley Band (A.E.B.), embarking on extensive tours across New South Wales. Their EP and first album garnered favorable reviews and sales, featuring cover artwork created by Eckersley himself.

During 2011, he toured the United States as rhythm guitarist for The McClymonts while continuing to advance A.E.B.'s work. By mid-2012, his appearance in a McClymonts music video attracted the attention of Universal Music Australia executives, resulting in a recording contract. Under Universal’s label, he collaborated with esteemed songwriters such as Keith Peterik and Keith Burns to develop new songs.

On 30 June 2023, Eckersley and McClymont jointly released their second album titled Up, Down & Sideways. They are also scheduled to participate in the eighth season of The Amazing Race Australia in 2024.
