Singing guitarist

Crediton

Hi, I'm Sam and I would love to bring my one-man-band show to your Wedding, Party or Event. With more than 20 years’ professional experience in the live music industry, I have certainly learned how to read the room and ensure a great atmosphere. I love to connect with audiences through friendly chat on the mic, song dedications, shout outs, requests and encouraging a good sing along. My set features a mix of classic songs, original tunes, acoustic instrumentals and modern covers. All delivered in a friendly indie-folk, bluegrass style, adaptable to the dynamics of your event in real time. Since the early days of my career playing live music in pubs, busking in Bath and holding down a monthly weekend residency in Camden Market; I have fine-tuned my sound and stage craft to create something unique yet familiar. I have been lucky enough to play at some of the worlds most iconic music festivals and venues as the lead singer + songwriter of a much-loved Bristol party band and shared the line up with Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, Nick Mulvey, Newton Faulkner and many more. These amazing experiences and treasured moments have been thoughtfully mixed together to create my offering of high-quality live music. Whether you are looking for an upbeat party atmosphere to keep your guests entertained, or a sensitive soundtrack for your more intimate moments; I will deliver a highly professional service guaranteed to help make your event an amazing memory for years to come.

"Sam Green possesses that rarest of abilities to take what is timeless and make it feel new again. Soulful and distinctive, his unique blend of styles and expert musicianship lay the foundation for his captivating vocal delivery." Bradninch Music Festival

“When Sam Green plays at your venue you realise quickly that you have a musician that performs at a different level. This incredibly affable young man is always well organised and on point in terms of his stage set up and stage craft. What is most important though is that if you are 8 years old or 80 you feel like Sam is playing directly to you. His ability to connect with audiences is extraordinary”. The Grapevine Brewhouse Exmouth

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

“I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.”

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

“Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue closes, I can provide this for an additional £100.”

How much time do you need to set up?

“For a big party set, I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance!” For a smaller set up ie, aisle walk etc, I would need 30 minutes to set up.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

“My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. ”

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

“Yes, absolutely! I bring all my own equipment.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

“If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc. ”
