Sugarman Sam

Since picking up the guitar from the age of 13, Sam has had a passion for all things connected to it; What started as a listen to AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’ album on a tape given to him by his Father has developed into something that infects every day life - this is not a hobby, but a dedication, a way of life.

Aged 15 saw the newly titled 'Sugarman' gain his first break as guitarist for local blues bruisers ‘Ripslide’. The band garnered interest and were soon frequenting the local club circuit resulting in the prestigious ‘BASINGSTOKE LIVE’ festival, with Sam becoming a go-to session man for local acts. His relative young age and ferocious playing drew attention and comparisons to Tommy Allen, Danny Bryant and Laurence Jones.

Having built up a reputation as a reliable and competent player, he lent his guitar skills to sessions that showcased his incredible array of styles, including; Funk, Country, Blues, Heavy Metal, Reggae, Rap and Progressive Rock but to name a few

It was always going to come back to what was at heart; the blues - particularly that of the British variety. Sugarman Sam has gained an army of fans and a reputation within current blues circles with his power quartet, The Voodoo Men; live music is where Sam shines best and playing live is just where he is likely to be!

See You On The Road…
