╔═════HOLDING═════╗
Adelaide is a folk/rock/who-knows artist based in Chicago. “Holding” is their fourth released project, a collection of 14 songs from the past two years. The album laces together flashes of childhood memory, the coldness that creeps in during midwestern winters, and the fuzzy kindness of growing trust in others. “Holding” is honest and heavy, drifting between the light and dark feelings of watching time pass.
They play live with a band composed of their lovely friends Vincent Byas (Rain Garden), Connor Bohn (Binz Low), Tyler Thenstedt (Racing Mount Pleasant), and Peter Cimbalo (Alga).
Released January 10, 2026

Mulberry Tree is Adelaide's third and warmest musical project, a compilation of songs written between the summer of 2022 and 2023. The album embraces ideas of processing newfound intimacy, love, friendships gained and lost, kindness, and their relationship with growing up. The songs were recorded with engineer Sam Uribe-Botero and the help of many wonderful friends.
