Adam Thomas Hughes released his DEBUT Single ‘The Long Way Home’ on the 16th of August 

Adam Thomas Hughes, the emerging singer-songwriter from Newton-le-Willows, has made a powerful debut with his single “The Long Way Home”. At just 18, Adam is already making waves in the indie music scene, drawing comparisons to artists like Sam Fender and The 1975. His live performances have been winning over audiences across Merseyside and the Northwest, and his first self-penned track is no exception.

“The Long Way Home” is an instant indie-pop anthem, capturing the heartache of unrequited love with poignant lyrics that resonate deeply. The track is carried by Adam’s emotive vocals and tight musicianship, with Will Crump providing a solid backbone on bass and lead guitar, and Dan Bretherton driving the energy on drums. The chemistry between the trio is palpable, creating a sound that’s both fresh and familiar.

Recorded at Dusk till Dawn studios by the renowned Manchester producer Luke Owens, who has worked with notable acts like SHADE and The Notion, “The Long Way Home” has the polish and punch of a track destined for widespread acclaim. It’s no surprise that this song has become a highlight of Adam’s live sets, earning massive ovations and cementing his place as a rising star.

With the backing of local heavyweights like The K’s and Alex Spencer, and fresh off a triumphant performance at Newton Music Festival in front of 3,000 fans, Adam Thomas Hughes is a name to watch. “The Long Way Home” is a powerful introduction to an artist poised for big things in the indie music world.
