SUMMARY:Sam Robbins
DESCRIPTION:Sam Robbins is often described as an “old soul singer songwriter.” A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70’s singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young\, Sam adds a modern\, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer\, he has gained recognition from extensive touring and as one of the six 2021 winners in the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition\, one of the largest and most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country. \nSam released his debut album\, Finally Feeling Young\, on May 14th\, 2021. The album is reminiscent of his 70’s singer-songwriter heroes\, with a modern perspective. On the heels of the award winning opening single\, ‘Remind Me”\, Finally Feeling Young has already garnered radio airplay and critical acclaim. Two album tracks\, Remind Me and Saying Amen\, won him a place as one of the six Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk winners. Americana Highways writes: “He writes of subjects that others don’t explore. Saying Amen has Robbins touching that special place Leonard Cohen went. This is brilliance.” Fateau Magazine in the UK writes “One of the most promising new songwriters of his generation”. \nA multi-instrumentalist from a young age\, Sam began learning drums and piano\, falling in love with guitar at age 15. He then started writing original music\, recording his first CD during his sophomore year of high school\, while playing open mics in his hometown of Portsmouth\, NH. \nOver his career\, Sam has performed countless shows across the country\, in theaters\, house concerts\, biker bars\, weddings\, proposals\, frat parties\, and everything in between. Sam is able to tour full time\, and feels at home in both intimate listening rooms and larger venues. Wherever he is performing\, Sam builds an intimate\, easy connection with the listener\, naturally creating a feeling of closeness throughout the performance. \nhttps://youtu.be/GBl7nGjDgb4 \nSam is a full time troubadour\, playing over 150 shows a year across the country\, including the MainStage at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, Dripping Springs Songwriter’s Festival\, and as one of the “‘Most Wanted to Return” artists in the 2023 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. \nSince moving to Nashville in September 2019 following his graduation from Berklee College of Music\, Sam has made a splash in music city – performing at the Bluebird Cafe within a month of moving\, and sitting in again at the legendary venue with Liz Longley in February. Sam was also a winner at the Eddie’s Attic Songwriter’s shootout competition in Atlanta in early March 2020. \nIn 2018\, Sam was able to audition and was aired on NBC’s The Voice\, performing for Adam Levine\, Kelly Clarkson\, Blake Shelton and Jennifer Hudson as the first artist to perform a Jim Croce song on the show. \nSam considers himself a student of songwriting\, constantly searching and learning about why songs have the impact they do. A 2019 graduate of Berklee College of Music’s songwriting department\, he has hosted many songwriting workshops and masterclasses\, including at the Harvard Music Department\, the Boys & Girls Club of Boston\, and the Folk Project’s Fall Acoustic Getaway. In his performances and workshops\, Sam explores the magic behind the craft of songwriting\, and tries to help others express themselves through the unique and powerful medium of songwriting. \nSam released his second album\, “Bigger Than in Between”\, to critical acclaim on August 5th\, 2022.
