“I am a 17 year old singer/songwriter currently living in California but native to Wisconsin. I’ve been playing music professionally since the age of 13. My genre is a mix of folk, americana, blues, soul, pop, and r&b. After moving to California, I attended the Los Angeles County High School For The Arts. I am now traveling back and forth between Wisconsin and California recording and performing. I have one demo out called “1 hour, 1 Take.” My first EP “Wisconsin St.” will be released very soon!
I’ve been surrounded by music my entire life. My Dad has been a musician since he was very young. He performed with a horn band named Big Mouth around Wisconsin for many years. I’d always go to his shows and imagine myself doing the same thing when I got older. I started playing music at age 11, and began playing gigs at 13. I’m a self taught musician.
Over the years I have played many shows including Mile Of Music in Appleton Wisconsin, East West Music Fest, Pig and Whistle in Hollywood CA, and other private and public events in LA, and Wisconsin.”

The band avoids the pomp and pretentiousness the permeates the genre—focusing instead on boisterous hooks and raucous celebration. The unique voice of Samuel and melodic guitar work of Ryan has earned the band radio play throughout the country, while the focused songwriting and rowdy stage show has earned them the respect of fans and contemporaries.
“We’re really just out to prove that rock and roll can be fun and still be clever and sophisticated,” explains Samuel, a sentiment the band thrives on.
