If you don’t know me already, I’m Sam Slick, a folk rock songwriter and musician. I like to make music with clear ties to the past and reverence to my inspirations, but which does not fall into the common traps of retreading songs and sounds that we’ve all heard enough of. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2017 I have self released two full length albums and a handful of singles with the help of my talented bandmates, many guest musicians, and several producers and engineers. I take great pride in making it on our own; everything we have accomplished is because of our dedication and talent.
I spend a long time crafting my songs to blend accessible writing and interesting ideas. My band similarly strives to add parts to elevate the raw material into exciting, compelling tracks. We have a hard time staying in the lines of one genre – sometimes too country to just be a rock band, sometimes too noisy for the country sound – but every song we make combines into a sound that is both novel and relatable.
What best represents my art has been our latest releases, two singles from 2023 (our unique take on ABBA’s SOS and my song Still You’re Here With Me), our next single Mr. President which will be released on February 16th, and the next singles we have planned. Our band is sounding better than ever, and while I remain proud and happy with everything I’ve done up to this point, I still feel like my best work is the latest.
