Formed in 1987 in Boulder, Colorado, The Samples quickly rose to national prominence, launching their first tour in 1988 and establishing a signature sound that seamlessly blends reggae, rock and folk. With a career spanning nearly four decades, the band has built a lasting legacy, releasing over 20 albums across both independent and major labels, earning placements in films, documentaries, Netflix series, and MSNBC election coverage.

Great show. Sean and the boys were fantastic. Only bummer is they had Indiana on the set list but never played it. We wanted an encore but the crew started tearing down immediately. Look forward to booking a private gig.
The Back Room @ Colectivo Milwaukee, WIThe beginning of the show was a bit rough. Either the sound was off or the band was too wasted ! It improved over time ! But we did enjoy the venue and the opening show !
The Meadow at Trapp Family Lodge Stowe, VTAmazing shows at the Blue Note with now good mix of older snd newer songs played and absolutely awesome to see the Samples with 3/4 of the original members. Totally fantastic songs and playful antics :)
Blue Note Napa Napa, CASean and The Samples sounded great and were engaging with the audience! A few hours of listening to music that reminds us of the tiny, beautiful things in life is what we all need.
Cisco Brewers Nantucket, MAGreat to see the Samples again after probably 12 or so years. Sounded pretty good considering they had to play outdoors in a snowstorm in sub freezing Temps. Please come back again soon!
