Calgary’s “Dream Angel Cowboy” is currently a finalist in Sirius XM’s Top of the Country
Calgary-based dream angel cowboy Robert Adam unveils “Moonlight Magic”, fresh off his latest performance at CMA Fest in Nashville, TN. At first listen, the song is a catchy country pop banger, but as the listener leans into the lyrics they’ll uncover its true meaning: the desire to take off the daily restrictions of society and to truly be themselves under the moonlight. Growing up in Northern Alberta as a queer person, the lyrics are a reflection of Robert’s lived rural experience.
In a sharp elegant stetson and illuminated in rodeo crystal, Robert Adam crafts records with a reverent respect for traditional country music, while infusing an accessible, modern tone. Robert’s artistry was born of the country, a little west of Bonnyville, and that’s a truth no one can touch. A visceral lyricist, emotive vocalist, crafty fashion designer, and vulnerable showman, Robert is anything but a one-trick pony.
“I guess you could say I’m redneck raised with a rhinestone heart.”
Hailed for his angelic, inviting presence, Robert Adam is known for breaking barriers between generations. Robert Adam blends his limitless imagination with stories of living. Whether it’s designing his outfit, graduating in heavy-duty mechanics, or penning an alternative country queer love song, he is anything but one-dimensional. Robert’s most recent single “Whiskey on Your Words” broke barriers with Robert being the cover artist for AmazonMusic’s Breakthrough Country playlist, with the single amassing over 300,000 streams. Robert’s genre-bending music has seen him welcomed on stages at the CCMA and Calgary Folk Festival.
“There are all kinds of people that come from the country, but we’re just starting to see them now,” says Robert Adam.
