Sam Martin

Sam is a phenomenal piano bar entertainer. He is easily the most talented piano player I have seen in the position and his voice has a unique timbre that appeals to many. He receives strong guest response in the piano bar and during his Cafe Musical sets. He has a strong repertoire and is currently working on building his country repertoire to better accommodate guest requests. Nearly all his repertoire is memorized; at most he will bring lyrics up for requests. This allows him to scan the room and create engaging/inclusive moments with his audience. His genuine kindness comes through when he is speaking to the audience between songs; they pick up on it, as mentioned in his comments(TGEMs attached). Off stage Sam is extemely kind with guests and crew alike. He helped the Rock keyboardist with his PBE audition reel throughout his contract. Overall, Sam was an important part of the Elation Music Team and it has been a pleasure having him on board. He will be a welcome addition to any ship in the future,

Sam is a thoroughbred musician and entertainer. He has outstanding skill in vocal and piano characteristics and is very knowledgeable in his role in our department. Samuel is always concerned about the guest experience in his sets. He is very passionate about proper music performance. From the timbre of his voice to the rich chords, characteristics and techniques his piano playing ability, Sam is a gem to have within any music department.
