About Sam: Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona.
After a brief stint on NBC’s The Voice in 2018, Robbins graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2019 and quickly made his move down to Nashville. After a tumultuous five years in Music City, So Much I Still Don’t See is the first recording made after moving back to the Boston area in early 2024. After trying his hand at co-writing country songs five days a week, Robbins found his way to a home on the road, now performing over 200 shows per year in listening rooms and festivals across the country.
Growing prowess on acoustic guitar through the years of touring has earned Robbins a large fanbase of fingerstyle guitar fans, and So Much I Still Don’t See is his first album that includes an original instrumental track, “Rosie”, named after his wife’s middle name. The song, a transitional moment midway through the album, was written in a painter’s style – following a melodic line through to it’s end, and changing chord colors around the line as it flows.
This foray into instrumental writing comes as Robbins is increasingly being recognized as a strong voice in US fingerstyle guitar playing, not just as an accompanist to his vocal.
This touring and subsequent songwriting growth has led to several awards and festival performances, making Robbins a 2021 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk contest winner, a 2022 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival “Most Wanted to Return” artist, and later a solo mainstage performer at each festival in 2023 and 2024. Robbins has expanded his touring to festivals nationwide, including the Wheatland Festival in Michigan, the Fox Valley Folk Music and Storytelling Festival, and has earned a title as “One of the most promising new songwriters of his generation” — Mike Davies, Fateau Magazine, UK
