Sam Lewis has collaborated with everyone from Leon Russell to The Wood Brothers. He’s often labelled with some form of the word ‘soulful’ (some have even compared his voice to molasses), and while Lewis’ style meets at a juncture of many different genres, he’s discovered what most musicians spend lifetimes working for; the place where feel-good music meets vital social commentary.
After spending a nomadic youth throughout the US Southeast, he began calling Nashville home in 2009. Since then he’s been joined on his journey by some of music’s most righteous and luminary figures. To date he has pressed the first few chapters in his career’s studio anthology with the release of his self-titled debut (2012), sophomore release ‘Waiting On You’ (2015), and third studio release ‘Loversity’ (2018).
With a decade of touring behind him and performing mostly solo Sam has captivated audiences around the world with his songs and stories, glued together with his irresistible stage banter, finessed from performing in numerous music halls, clubs, theatres, festivals, music cruises and the occasional living room. ‘SOLO’, Sam’s latest release, is a solo-acoustic album featuring a mixture of new material alongside reimagined songs from across his back catalogue. Recorded at Southern Ground Studios in Nashville in front of a live audience in September 2019, the album is an intimate snapshot that captures Lewis in his element and is certain to be a fan favourite for years to come.
While each of Sam’s albums has a distinct sound, they all circle back to a universal theme – “we are all trying to get somewhere – all running from something or toward something; we’re all in it together, though.”
