Sam Morrow w/ Sam Tayloe

Sam Morrow has sound that exists outside of genre and geography. It’s his own version of modern-day American roots music: a mix of roadhouse rock & roll, bluesy R&B, and country-fried funky-tonk, driven forward by groove, grease, and guitars.

“A sinewy, head-nodding listen…demands to be played loud at parties.” – Rolling Stone

“The record is buttressed by two strong singles: the keyboard-heavy opener “By Your Side” and the driving, twangy “Medicine Man,” both perfectly showcasing Morrow’s whiskey-soaked, rich vocals, bringing to mind the ghost of Leon Russell, offering a powerful one-two Tyson-worthy punch opening the record.” – GLIDE

“It’s certainly the best rock album this year.” – Farce the Music

Time Sawyer’s name reflects the pull between the past and the future. The character Tom Sawyer evokes the rural background and love of home that the band shares. Time is a muse for songwriting; it’s the thread that runs through life, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency, while still connecting us with our past.

The folk-rock band has performed on the stages of some of the Southeast’s most iconic festivals, including Merlefest, Floydfest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Albino Skunk Music Festival, and Carolina in the Fall. They’ve shared bills with American Aquarium, John Craigie, Hiss Golden Messenger, Langhorne Slim, John Moreland, Steep Canyon Rangers, The Wood Brothers, Susto, and many more.
