Sam Evian

From somewhere deep in the Catskills mountains in upstate New York, Sam Evian is bringing us fresh and wobbly tunes with a sense of freedom. That warm, live and fuzzy late 60s/70s sound is prevalent in his music that melds power pop, iridescent guitar, raucous psychedelia, and Sam’s now sought-after grooves. The music is both fresh and familiar, sonically inspired by his penchant for early 70s production. Besides being the creator of excellent songs, Sam also is a sought-after producer who worked with the likes of Big Thief, Blonde Redhead, and Cass McCombs.

Evian released his fourth record, Plunge at the end of March 2024. This latest is a record bound by freedom, with a loosened grip of trying to make it perfect and endless tweaking of knobs and sounds. Joined by a group of his closest friends and collaborators (including Liam Kazar, Sean Mullins, El Kempner of Palehound and Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief), the young artist / producer set out with a wide-open approach. The result? A record with infinite vibes and warm depth. Get your groove on!
