About Bryan Adams
As rock entered the synth era at the dawn of the ‘80s, a new guitar-slinging savior emerged from the west coast of Canada.
Born in Kingston, Ontario in 1959 and raised in Ottawa, Bryan Adams settled in Vancouver during his teens, first infiltrating the scene in the late ‘70s playing in clubs and working as a studio musician.
It wasn’t until his third solo album, 1983’s Cuts Like a Knife, that he became the rare Canadian artist to go platinum on both sides of the border, thanks to arena-ready stompers such as the title track and heartland-bound hits like “This Time.” With 1984’s blockbuster Reckless, he revealed the full breadth of his artistry, complementing his usual kids-wanna-rock attitude with lighter-waving power ballads (“Heaven”), dramatic slow-burn showstoppers (“Run to You”), and wistful origin-story anthems (the eternal “Summer of ‘69”).
