Sam Lewis takes "Superposition" to the Netherlands

Sam Lewis has collaborated with everyone from Leon Russell to The Wood Brothers. Chris Stapleton dubbed him “a modern Townes Van Zandt”.
He’s often labeled with some form of the word ‘soulful’ (some have even compared his voice to molasses), Lewis’ style meets at a juncture of many different genres however he’s discovered what most musicians spend lifetimes working for; the place where feel-good music meets vital social commentary.

Sam Lewis’ long-awaited new solo album, Superposition, his first since 2020, irresistibly fuses Americana undertones to hazy dream-like melodies with psychedelic instrumental flourishes. Comprising eight atmospherically captivating originals alongside a compellingly unique take on Dire Straits’ ‘Walk of Life’, Superposition came out on Loversity Records at the first of this month. 

Sam Lewis about his new album: "My upcoming album was recorded at The Cabin Studio in Nashville, TN, owned and operated by Matty Alger, one of today's most accomplished drummers and engineers. I had the privilege of helping Matty build this beautiful studio starting in 2019, completing it in 2020 amid the tumult of the pandemic. It became a sanctuary for us during those chaotic times, where we began crafting music and immediately enlisted the immensely talented Ethan Ballinger as producer for the songs that would form my upcoming album, SUPERPOSITION".

When the pandemic abruptly halted my 2020 world tour and cast uncertainty over the future, Chase McGillis offered me a position as a carpenter at his construction company. Working alongside Chase, who also happens to be a stellar bassist, I gained further insights into construction while he lent his musical talents to help refine our new songs. Recording these songs brought me immense joy, especially given our unconventional approach. Rather than sticking to rigid schedules typical of studio sessions, which often span weeks or even months, we gathered whenever possible—a spontaneous evening, a leisurely afternoon, or an impromptu Sunday at the studio following another challenging week in the outside world. We'd reconnect, share stories, and then hit record, capturing moments that resonate deeply in the music we created together.
