Dominique Adams is full of heart – armed with selfexploring songs and fueled by the people and places she’s moved through and settled into. Born and raised in central Alberta, she re-located to Winnipeg, taking who she was before and dovetailing that with who she would become. Her debut album, To Keep, is about this process. Actively choosing the people, values, ideas, and parts of your identity that are important to you. How do you keep these at your core as you move through different seasons? But don’t mistake this for Dominique being stubborn and locked in her ways. To Keep is also an invitation to remain curious and open. Looking forward - it is an invitation to move through life, collecting bits from the people, places and experiences you encounter, absorbing them into yourself. Looking back - it is an invitation to examine what you are holding on to and decide whether you need to let it go or make space for something new. The result is an inviting, tape-soaked set of lush folk songs recorded with some of her closest friends (Liam Duncan aka Boy Golden, Keiran Placatka and Austin Parachoniak). Driving the album are Dominique’s gorgeous vocals – singular and iconic, inviting and heartfelt. They weave through the album like a thread – their surprising melodies tying together songs that dig deep, but land softly. To Keep was built in the same way Dominique has tried to build her life – surrounded by good people, good environment and good things. The things she has chosen to keep in her life, she also wanted to keep on this album – a feeling documented for her to hold. And now you can hold it too, maybe finding something to keep for yourself and share with the people you love.
