Samuel John Band

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is playing in the living room as a kid while my mom taught piano lessons to kids after school in the entry room of our house in Cambridge, MN. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Cody Jinks, Less Wise Eric Church, Sinners Like Me Tyler Childers, Purgatory This is a tough question. I chose these particular 3 more modern albums as I think they had a large hand in inspiring the way I currently make music, though I grew up on a little bit of everything from classic country to metal, punk, rap and rock. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Set Me Free” This is the first song I ever released. It wasn't even supposed to be my first, but that's a longer story. This song defines the sound my band and I are ready to show the world, both on record and in-person. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? There are MANY already in my short music career, but probably our debut full band show at Ryders Saloon in 2023. It was awesome to see family, friends and fans come out to support us and I got to make music on stage with some great friends. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I will say maybe releasing a full length album or playing the main stage at First Ave in Minneapolis!
