Its always such a fantastic show with soulful American songwriter Sam Lewis plus a chance for local legend Paul Randall to ditch Big Red & dig deep down & personal, with some wicked rootsy tunes.
SAM LEWIS: With rich soulful vocals, well-crafted songs, roots country and blue-eyed soul Sam Lewis is connecting the dots. Whether crossing genres or state lines, he has pieced together a story people need to hear. Sam Lewis’ debut album ‘Waiting on you’ received a top review from Mojo and featured in the Telegraph’s list of top country albums from 2015. “Loversity” was released in May 2018 and composed of 14 tracks that Lewis had spent over a year and a half writing and playing for others. Since Waiting on You, his classic style remained present yet matured, with a more refined worldview, Sam Lewis has collaborated with everyone from Leon Russell to The Wood Brothers. Chris Stapleton dubbed him “a modern Townes Van Zandt”. And while he’s often labeled with some form of the word ‘soulful’ (some have even compared his voice to molasses), Lewis’ style meets at a juncture of many different genres.
“…he sounds from another time, or timeless. Either way, good.” – **** Sylvie Simmons, Mojo Magazine
“Irresistible…8/10” – Johnny Sharp, The Blues Magazine
“There’s so much soul pouring out of this guy’s pores you could bathe in it. It’s like hearing Al Green for the first time.” – Grant Britt, No Depression
