September 30, 2024“Our company event was taken to the next level with Sam Hammerman! We had a variety of fun activities, including skeet shooting, pickleball, pool, yard games, and great food, but the highlight for our guests was gathering around to enjoy Sam’s incredible entertainment for hours.
This was a family-friendly event, and it was heartwarming to see even the youngest guests, including a 16-month-old baby, completely captivated by his performance!
Sam is personable, fun, and an all-around talent who truly doesn’t disappoint. We can’t wait for the opportunity to have him back again!”

December 27, 2020I hired Sam for a Christmas Eve outdoor celebration for my family. Despite the challenging circumstances of playing the guitar outside in the snow, Sam did a great job. He performed a nice mix of classic Christmas songs as well as regular favorites including some of his own. Both his playing and his singing voice are both great and even better in person! He also had a nice rapport with the guests. I would definitely recommend him and look forward to hiring him again under easier circumstances.

You can expect a very professional, polished and uplifting performance. I have a full range of originals and covers in my repertoire, everything from classic soul, jazz and pop/rock to more recent fare. Also am happy to learn some new songs and material upon request. I absolutely love music and being part of peoples' special events is a great joy. I am also friendly, hard-working and reliable, this is one aspect of your event planning you will not have to worry about. I look forward to hearing from you!
"Sam Hammerman is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Boston, MA. His music lives in the Pop world, with a melodic sensibility steeped in the sounds of classic and modern soul, rock and jazz. Some of his major influences include Jeff Buckley, John Mayer, Radiohead, D’angelo, and The Beatles. His songs touch on many aspects of the human experience, from personal struggles and relationships to profound transcendence and freedom. The music carries an uplifting, spiritual and meditative undertone.
Sam has released two EP's and several singles thus far. PopMatters describes his recent song “Miss the Days” as “soulful and sweet, presented in top-notch form.” In Fall 2018, he released a "live-in-studio" Video EP, that was recorded in NYC solo and with his band. The album has a more raw, spontaneous feel, and is all about capturing the joy of the moment and different flavors of his artistry. He performs regularly in the Northeast and elsewhere, aiming to spread the good vibes wherever he goes.
I have a top of the line QSC sound system equipped with two K12.2 speakers, a CP8 for monitor and an Allen and Heath Zedi10fx mixer. This is more than sufficient for anything from smaller to larger venues, even outside with a few hundred people. I take great care in my sound, and this system truly sounds incredible, with great clarity, fullness and sonic detail. This ensures the performance is at the highest level of quality as possible.
I have several high end guitars, a Shure Beta 58A microphone and all the necessary cables, stands and such as well. The only thing required is some kind of power source, although I can bring long extension cords as well if need be.
