Sam and Funky Nation always put on a great show! Sam's talent, besides being an excellent trombone player, is relating to the crowd and drawing them in to make them part of the show as well. His chemistry with the band is phenomenal!

Big Sam's Funky Nation was branded the "Hardest Working Band At Bonnaroo 2010" by the festival's own publication, The Bonnaroo Beacon. .
