When you work with bands like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Depeche Mode, you get a little recognition. KCRW knew this and booked Barry Adamson at the Hotel Cafe. Touring on his new album I Will Set You Free, this British rocker stood alone on the tiny stage belting out tunes in one of the smoothest voices I’ve heard in awhile. The set was too short—hopefully, he’ll be back.
