Sam Moss a Man of Fables, Release's NEW Album

At a moments notice, I can wander, without going anywhere but my head, or on an aimless stroll in lonely wild places, or in a crowd of strangers. Tranquility and clarity of thought are my preferred state of being. I can go anywhere, be anything my imagination leads me. Boston-based singer/songwriter and string player Sam Moss' new album Fable is a companion for such excursions, like a close trusted friend, his voice is soothing but mysterious with a tale at the tip of his tongue, and intricate melodies flowing from his skillful fingers like a mythical woodland sprite you'll eagerly follow. Haunting and mesmerizing Fable is a fine album to get lost in and keep you company in your travels.

Recorded with (Michael Roberts, Jeff Murphy, and Jesse Fox), and the folks at Guilford Sound (Dave Snyder and Matt Hall).
Released May 6th, you can order Fable now on CD, Vinyl, or MP3, or stream it on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

Sam Moss - No Kingdom

Sam Moss is a Brattleboro, Vermont based singer/songwriter and stringisseur, soothing heartfelt vocals and vibrant fingerpicking, joined by Michael Roberts on bass, his eighth solo album ‘No Kingdom’ shows a young Americana troubadour at the top of his game with a successful road ahead of him.

Moss’ playing is heavily informed by pre-war American country, blues, and folk (Blind Willie Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers), post-1950 pioneers of outer sound (Morton Feldman, Sonny Sharrock), and contemporary solo guitarists (Jack Rose, Glenn Jones).

"I started playing guitar when I was twelve, mostly because I wanted to play rock and electric blues. The violin didn't seem particularly cool to me in middle school, but I kept at it, though it took discovering other playing styles (old-time, jazz) to fall back in love with the instrument."

‘No Kingdom’ was recorded during a residency at The MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire in the same studio where Aaron Copland worked on Billy the Kid. Moss has also released two albums with the old-time duo, The Howling Kettles, which I highly suggest you check out.
