Clyde Adamson :: "Tuff I"
|
 From Humble Beginnings…
born the youngest of 9 children, Tuff I was raised in the lush green country side in St John, Barbados. Named Clyde Adamson he began his life enjoying the blessings of nature.
As a youth Tuff and his family would gather in the evenings to listen to his father play the guitar. Sweet melodies would ring out while his mother and children would listen and sing along. Whenever the opportunity presented itself Tuff would also take up his father’s guitar and pluck the strings carefully to sound out the rhythms of his most early influences such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown and Frankie Paul. It was soon after as a young teenager that he emerged as a musician with a gift to play by ear and freestyle his own tunes.

It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
