Sam Cregger CD Release Show ft. Sam Wilson

With "Tell Me Something Different," Cregger displays the tools of a journeyman musician’s trade — worn smooth and polished by constant use — and, when he lays them out, they kind of look as raw and inviting as the lyrics.

Sam Cregger was born in Arlington, Virginia, the youngest of four boys. He grew up surrounded by art of all kinds, from painting to music, and even comedy. Over the years, his art has taken its own unique form, taking its cues from musicians, authors, and actors alike. Musically, Sam counts Ryan Bingham, Lucinda Williams, and Ray LaMontagne (to name a few) as some of his strongest influences. At the same time, he draws inspiration from the western stories and characters of John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Cormac McCarthy. Sam’s own music blends the rugged self-reliance and yearning of a western frontiersman with the deeply rooted loyalty of a born and bred Virginian.

When he's not playing music, Sam works as a local farmer outside of Charlottesville, Virginia.
