Sam Palladio

am Palladio’s debut album “The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light” is a bright beacon for the Cornish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor’s whirlwind trans-Atlantic life.
 

The album was born in Nashville, with some judicious nods back to the UK and finished in Los Angeles in the iconic “Prince Room” of the legendary Sunset Sound studios with Grammy-winning producer Dave Sardy (Noel Gallagher, Band Of Horses, Royal Blood).
 

The title of the record The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light is a lyric taken from the single ‘Something On My Mind’, an achingly touching pop ballad inspired by the passing of Sam’s mother Sally and at its heart the record is a tribute to her.
 

The album also speaks to his lifelong experience in and around music, his deep immersion in Nashville and heartland Americana, while also retaining his obsessive fandom for rock and guitar music alongside addressing very personal and life changing moments, prompting a diverse record of moving emotions, textures and sounds.


Stardust glistens throughout the stunning record and Sam is joined by collaborators including Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil on the laid-back anthem ‘Spill Your Heart’, while Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett lays down scorching riffs and soloing on the rollicking barroom anthem and recent single ‘Tennessee’.
The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light captures the best side of Sam as he readies for his rock ‘n’ roll close up. Armed with a fresh catch of new songs, 2026 will be an exciting year of new music releases for Sam and fan can see Sam live and in the spotlight on his summer tour dates.
