Sam Sallon tickets and listings

His solo career began in earnest in 2002 when he moved to London. A gig at the Betsey Trotwood led to a few sessions with producer David Watson, a friend and former protégé of the late great Gus Dudgeon (David Bowie, Elton John...,)

Sam's first studio release, a three track acoustic ep, began life as a demo but soon brought Sam to the attention of some of the UK's best live promoters. A UK tour with Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriella embarked Sam on a string of broad reaching supports from I am Kloot at the Islington Academy to Nouvelle Vague at the Pigalle. Recent months have seen Sam opening for Peter Doherty at his landmark sell-out Royal Albert Hall show, for Dot Allison at her UK album launch and for Lyle Lovett at the Royal Festival Hall.

Sam's debut single, You May Not Mean to Hurt Me (But You Do), released on a limited edition eponymous EP**, won the 2009 EMA award for best folk song.

His first LP will be out soon with some special guest appearances by Neil Cowley, Kami Thompson, Paul Wassif to name but a few. The album was lovingly produced by David Watson at Metropolis Studios and mixed by Jim Lowe.
