In his young career, pop/soul artist Sam Mooney has already reached #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart, toured across the United States, won one of the country’s largest talent competitions, and shared the stage with many of his musical heroes. The Brookhaven, Mississippi native’s piano-driven sound has earned commercial success and critical acclaim, drawing comparisons to artists such as John Mayer, Ben Rector, and early Maroon 5.Mooney has opened large concerts for a growing list of major artists including Judah & The Lion, COIN, The Band CAMINO, Marcus King, Dylan LeBlanc, American Authors, Jordy Searcy, Stephen Day, Chance Peña, Jervis Campbell, The Brook & The Bluff and Kings Kaleidoscope.
Sam released his debut full-length album, “Time Bomb” on May 10th, 2019. The gospel-influenced track “Holy Water” earned Mooney his first major editorial playlist placement on Spotify that day. He spent the remainder of 2019 promoting the album on his first nationwide tour, which included numerous sold-out shows. Sam is now based in Nashville, Tennessee where he is currently recording his next batch of new music.
In addition to his solo career, Sam Mooney has become an in-demand keyboardist for both live performances and studio work, and his playing can be heard on many albums from other artists. Sam also performs and releases music under a duo project with his wife, fellow musician Polly Mooney, called The Highland Rim. The duo’s self-titled debut album is available everywhere now.
