BIO:
After studying piano and teaching himself bass, guitar, and drums during High School Sam dove into the local Athens, GA music scene, playing in a long list of bands starting with the Flaming Chopsticks in 1982. From there he spit off into Doo Blan Tant with Robbie Collins in 1984, releasing a six-song demo, Rhythm Method, in the process. In 1986 he fell in with his housemates Curtiss Pernice and Ted Hafer to start Porn Orchard, which lasted until 1992 and released two full-length CDs and a single through CZ records in Portland, OR. After a four year break he joined Poolside, which only lasted a year. In 2001, at the behest of Kevin Sweeney (Hayride, Acetate, Sunshine Fix) he joined The Sunshine Fix. Led by Bill Doss (Olivia Tremor Control), he jumped in and played all the instruments throughout the set. After a member shift in 2002, he settled on bass and backing vocals. Sam contributed heavily to the Sunshine Fix''s latest album Green Imagination on Spin Art, which came out in 2004.
Meanwhile, Sam has worked with Vic Chesnutt over the years on pre-production for his records. Then in 2003, he asked Vic asked Sam and Curtiss to tour the US, Canada, and Europe to promote his record Silver Lake. Working with both Vic and Bill was inspirational to Sam as a songwriter and he learned a lot from both of them.
Currently, Sam has released his first solo project called final 8 demo. He plays all the instruments and does all the vocals on eight of his most current songs.
It''s kinda lo-fi, and there''s mistakes, from siblance to antsy bits. But the motivation is pure.
