Look, Ma! I got me a music video! Maybe about a year ago, I met @nosferatune while recording some music at Marigny Studios and I immediately knew that I needed her involved with my album in some way. So we talked a little and she agreed. She walked around with me, filmed me everywhere around the city, at recording sessions, at shows, asked me insightful questions about the song along the way... All of this to say -- Andy wonderfully captured the essence and meaning of this song so beautifully, in a way I thought not possible. Thank you infinitely ☺️ Watch it on YouTube! My very first music video is out! Link is in my bio :) xx Sam

My album, Runaway Love, is finally out! It's streaming, on a CD and everywhere you can possibly think of! After years and years of writing, rewriting and second guessing myself, I've finally decided to share this little part of me with the world. It's been a scary, exciting, illuminating and, ultimately, fulfilling rollercoaster. I've kept these songs so close to myself for forever and now it's yours! These songs are my journal of navigating through the maze that is my 20's... I hope you like it or give it a listen :) link and bio and all that fun stuff. Thank you to all the people who have helped me along the way. @riffer_madness_jay for being the most incredible engineer, mixer, masterer, collaborator... @alex_ebert for encouraging me and lending me all his resources... and to the family that built this album all listed below. @calvinmorinmartin - bass @drummershawnj - drums @steenshreds - guitar @kg_nolan - guitar @getchasumjelly - vox @kaylajasminesings - vox @sashamasakowski - vox @naughtyhorns - horn arranging @nickellman - baritone sax @john__culbreth - trumpet @iamianbowman - tenor sax @thisisbradwalker - tenor sax @markmullinsmusic - trombone @scottfrock - trumpet @jonramm - horn arranging @riffer_madness_jay - engineer, master wizard @emferretti - photos, cd design, most wonderful person @nosferatune - music video, mvp @powderfingerpr - press/radio

Happy 81st birthday Keith Jarrett!! Tonight at @snugjazz_nola we celebrate his brilliant music, two sets (730&930PM), featuring the immense talents of @matt_boothdreaux , @samkuslan , the brilliant @johnnyvidacovich , and very special guests @katericanary @gabonola and Brian Seeger. Limited tix available at snugjazz.com, join us!!

I am beyond stoked to be back at @snugjazz_nola this Friday, presenting ‘Mysteries: The Music of Keith Jarrett’! We are very fortunate to be joined by one of the greatest New Orleans drummers of all time, our friend and mentor, Johnny Vidacovich. Maybe the most musical MFer you will ever hear in your life! As well as very special guests @katericanary (first set), Brian Seeger (second set), and @gabonola (second set). @matt_boothdreaux and @samkuslan and I have spent the last few years carefully crafting this set (I believe we are the only ones to blend together the music of both his American and European quartets!), and you do not want to miss this very special New Orleans edition! See y’all Friday 💥 • • • #mysteries #keithjarrett #snugharborjazzbistro #neworleans #music
