Sam Downing comes off like an old wily veteran. Telling stories of being a traveling troubadour… hitting the highway – running from the law & taking bullets. Finding love, protecting family and of course some heartbreak as well. All of this making the albums title, Storyteller – a perfect fit. You’d have to ask the youngster, up & coming singer songwriter which of his stories are actually true though – by the earnest grit from which Downing delivers, it’s hard to tell.
What’s not difficult is to take note of his tremendous song writing ability. He seems to have taken note of some greats like Dylan & Townes… & of course as his IG profile says “God Bless Woody Guthrie”.
Sam Downing was born in Michigan but quickly became a Texas boy due to his dad’s own music aspirations. Downing wrote his first song as early as middle school & hasn’t stopped… it’s paying off, for all of us. Keep your eye on this fresh face as he deservingly rises to the top.
