Rood Adeo (born Roderik Adeo Jansz, 10 November 1970, in Nijmegen) is a Dutch singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and recording artist. His musical style is influenced by rock, jazz, blues, classical, and folk. Adeo's flexible voice, ranging from tenor to bass, varies between a bright, high pitched sound and a duskier, harsh timbre.[1] Founder of the band Rood & Nighthawks at the Diner,[2] Adeo also recorded a number of albums under different names,[3] backed by a changing line-up of musicians.[4] Adeo performs with piano, guitar, and with the occasionally use of other keyboards, accordion, and cajón.
