"Sam's attention to detail and input was so helpful to us while organizing our biggest headline show. Sam is such a pleasure to work with, he slots right into what is already an established working space which is really remarkable! The vibes are strong with this one." – Pillow Queens
"Sam joined us on conductor duties for the anniversary of our album live stream. Because of his in-depth background in theory, with his help we were able to craft and transcribe the string arrangements we had in mind for the string quartet. He became the translator for any musical language barriers, and that coupled with his work ethic, attitude, and dependability all made for a really smooth workflow. He has many strings to his bow (guitar, composition, transcription, production etc.) and I would recommend him for any of them." – The Scratch
