He'll be accompanied by Dan Conoscenti on guitar and vocals in what, I'm sure, will be as captivating as his previous performances. Sam 'got in the middle of somebody elses war' when he suffered devastating injury from a terrorist bomb on a train in Peru. His struggle back to health was 'a climb up a steep embankment' but he's now at the top of his game. As fellow musician Jim White says, Sam is the 'real deal' and you're sure to find that out if you come along to these shows. |
