Girl Named Sam
Indie vibe and acoustic love. Sweet rhythm and rhyme from the girl next door, the girl that got away, and every girl in between.

"One thing that immediately stood out for me is how well each song on this album is structured. I was particularly impressed with Sam's enviable knack for writing a great pre-chorus. [I can't even write pre-choruses at all, let alone good ones.] Numerous times throughout the album [sometimes even in the same song] there's been a change and I've thought, 'Ooh, nice chorus' - only for another change to come and reveal that the catchy, hooky little part I'd been humming along to was just a build up to the even catchier, hookier REAL chorus! And then often there'll be a clever little bridge/middle-8-type part towards the end to top it all off! Fantastic!
Because vocals are at the forefront of the songs, the album relies a lot on its lyrics. For me [in the reviewer role], this was a little bit of a concern, because when I usually listen to music, lyrics are one of the last things I pay attention to. But, thankfully, Sam's words are very engaging, heartfelt and often witty."

I picked up a guitar at age 14. An old, unidentifiable thrift store acoustic that just happened to belong to the boy I had fallen for head over heels.
The guitar stuck. The boy didn't.
Fast-forward a handful of notebooks and many years later, and here I am. Still using the same dusty computer microphone and program I started off with, but a lot more scars and lessons learned than before. I'm just starting to dip my toes into the performing world, so here's hoping I don't drown.Have you performed in front of an audience?I roam all over my tiny West Texas town playing anywhere and everywhere--from rough and tumble biker bars to quiet coffee shops.

If Maynard James Keenan and Ingrid Michaelson had a baby, and then gave that baby a capo, this is pretty much what you'd get. Pure honesty and emotion in rhythm and rhyme.What equipment do you use?
