Sam Ness (USA) at the Sunday Sit down
March 11, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm NZDT
THE SUNDAY SIT DOWN IS BACK!
To celebrate we have special guest Sam Ness (Wisconsin, USA) at our first Sunday Sit Down Get Down of the year.
“Sam Ness is taking the Madison music scene by storm. His rugged charm coupled with immense talent have made him a stellar act to watch” – On Wisconsin Radio
Our doors open at 3pm and the music always starts at 4pm so make sure you come early to get settled in.
There is a suggested ‘Koha’ entry for this event we encourage you to support the musicians and pay what you can afford.
“In short, Sam Ness’s music is a mix of Alternative Acoustic artists like Ben Howard, Passenger and Jack Johnson, and energetic fun artists like Mumford and Sons, One Republic, and classics like Otis Redding and Ben E. King. He uses special effects including a loop system and a vocal harmonizer to make a sound much larger than any other Singer/Songwriter in the Madison Area.”
“Born in small town Wisconsin, he’s got more in common with, say, Justin Vernon than Eric Benét, but no less soulful. His sharp intelligence to letting the song tell the story, and the musicians to breathe and go, never limits his imagination to anything short of brilliance. His voice and lyrics rides comfortably and raises the roof for the last chorus.” – Eric Alper (In regards to title track from “Whispered on the Wind” album)
“At 18 years old, Sam Ness looks and sounds like he was born a few decades too late. His hair and beard conjure images of Jim Morrison circa 1969, and, like Morrison, Ness writes poetry that he sets to music and prefers the character of old European cities. But Ness isn’t as lost as Morrison was.” – Wisconsin State Journal
“…his husky voice soothed all our chilly souls and he dappled his set with a few covers from Passenger, The Lumineers and other folky loves of ours.” – International Sound Project
“As I spent roughly a year touring Europe as a professional street performer, I figured it was time to go back home to Madison, WI USA to make a record. Now that it’s finished, I’ve got itchy feet again. I’m off to see a part of the world I’ve never been to, and I’m starting in Christchurch”. – Sam Ness
