Fantastic entertainer

Sam surprised me with his talent. I'm a massive music fan and love live music. There wasn't a moment of disappointment in our evening. We had about 40 guests and no one left. Everyone loved Sam's music and raved about his ability on guitar. The BEST money I've spent in a long time and I absolutely will book him again. I highly recommend Sam Williams for any entertainment need.

What to expect

Set list is unique, fun and adaptable to any occasion. Classic Rock, Classic Country, Blues, 80's Rock and Pop, 90's, Alternate, Ska, New Wave, and Punk. And my specialty is 60s Surf Guitar and instrumentals. Perfect for tiki and beach themed establishments.
I play with backing tracks and electric guitar. So the sound is as lush as a full band. But the volume is easily managed, depending on the size of the venue. From conversation level background music, to full-on dance party level. Lots of virtuoso guitar playing. Available as either a solo performer, or with a full band trio.

About
