Weikie

Weikie is the solo project of Adam Weikert, a singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom who is also a member of Her Name Is Calla. His work sits in folk and singer-songwriter territory, with an emphasis on acoustic performance and piano as well as banjo and guitar.

Solo work

Weikie’s debut album, Raise Our Sunken Ship, is a self-released record from 2012. It is described as a densely arranged album, with tremulous vocals, banjo-led passages and reflective ballads. The songwriting draws on themes of pathos and loss, but also includes notes of optimism and personal reflection.

Live performances

In performance, Weikie mainly appears as a solo acoustic act. The live set combines traditional songs with original material, and he moves between banjo, piano and guitar during the show. This creates a broad overview of folk influences alongside more contemporary singer-songwriter writing.
