Their poetic songwriting paired with a beautifully melancholic sonic landscape is an enthralling void to lose yourself to. In a world oversaturated with pathological positivity it's exciting to hear such an emotionally generous band. Their music somehow makes you want to dance and cry at the same time, it's a rare and honest dichotomy.
Sam Hudson is an indie-alternative songwriter, singer, guitarist, pianist and DIY producer based in Toronto. Originally from Kent County, New Brunswick, Hudson’s music reflects his journey through spiritual awakening and is characterized by his touch on the piano (Chris Martin of Coldplay), introspective lyrics (Elliott Smith) and hooky melodies (The Beatles).
Sam’s first EP, Pop Goes the Human is a collaboration with Juno nominated producer Thomas McKay. Inspired by his struggle with spiritual awakening the record is a poignant, honest reflection on truth, madness and what it means to be human.
“I found myself in a place I dubbed No Man’s Land — disassociated from people, my art and myself. Pop Goes the Human tells the story of my journey through and ultimately out of that dark, confusing and profound chapter of my life.”
Sam made the top 100 in CBC Music’s Searchlight Competition, was nominated for Music New Brunswick’s Video of the Year and has received airplay on CBC and CHSR radio stations. When not in the studio, writing or performing Sam can be found drinking coffee, alchemizing lead to gold or ingesting comedic content…often all at the same time.
