With dynamic sets that span intense balladry to soulful Blues, Jazz and Gospel. At the heart of Sam’s music is an astonishing rawness and authenticity.
'A consummate songwriter, Sam Jefferson brings a story to life.' - BBC Radio Scotland
With influences from Robert Johnson, The Allman Brothers, Wes Montgomery, to John Martyn, Bert Jansch, and Tom Waits, Sam’s virtuosic fluidity is always in service of the story behind the song.
An impressive history as a solo performer behind him, Sam established his name as a singer-songwriter, holding audiences from The Bridgewater Hall to intimate Jazz and Folk clubs with just a guitar and his voice. Now pushing the limits of solo gigs, Sam’s use of multi-track live looping has brought even greater intensity to his shows. From infectious grooves to dreamy soundscapes, Sam's ability to build up the sound of a hard driving band on stage, then strip it back to its rawest components, makes for a vital experience.
'Outstanding Musicianship' - Ralph McTell
'Really fine picking, voice, and song-writing. Sam is carrying Blues and Folk tradition on in his own way' - Toby Walker
