Artist description Sam Creigh writes the way he performs--with an engaging Country Folk style that lends itself well to a mixed bag of blues, rock, and even occasionally jazzy numbers. He can croon a love song or rave in serious protest. His well-crafted original songs are an extension of his laid-back personality and perception of life, with catchy melodies that fit in seamlessly with those of the well-chosen cover songs he includes in his act. Creigh has the exceptional ability to pleasingly engage his audience from opening song to close, whether on-stage or on his newly-released CD (March, 2002) Green Mountain Flyer.

Artist History Sam's musical roots date back to the 1970s in Tucson, Arizona, playing guitar and bass in several local country/rock and western swing bands. In 1976, he moved to Los Angeles and joined the Shire Brothers, an acoustic guitar and vocal trio. On the side, he worked an as audio engineer on Hollywood Boulevard in his own eight track demo studio, and eventually merged that business with a video company. Upon a blissful marriage in 1983, Sam relocated to the East Coast and, eventually, the rural splendor of Vermont, where he currently resides. He resumed his musical career as a solo acoustic guitarist in the early 90s and is currently a fixture on the Central and Southern Vermont ski circuit. In the mid 90s, Sam became aware of the history of hemp prohibition, after reading Jack Herer's The Emperor Wears No Clothes. He was thoroughly outraged at the special interest control of the American government, and became a political and social activist, dedicating his life to the fight for truth and ultimate freedom.
