"How this young man has for so long managed to escape the world's attention I will never know. To see a writer and performer of this calibre on such a small stage is a genuine treat." - Time Out

Sam Sallon's first studio release, a three track acoustic EP, began life as a demo in 2005 but soon brought Sam to the attention of some of the UK's best live promoters. A UK tour with Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriella saw him embark on a string of broad-reaching supports from I am Kloot at the Islington Academy to Nouvelle Vague at the Pigalle. Recent months have seen Sam opening for Pete Doherty at his landmark sellout Royal Albert Hall show, for Dot Allison at her UK album launch and for Lyle Lovett at the Royal Festival Hall.
Sam's debut single, 'You May Not Mean to Hurt Me (But You Do)' , produced by David Watson, won the 2009 EMA award for Best Folk Song and Sam has been nominated two years running for the official 'Best of Myspace'.
His first LP will be out in the summer featuring some special guest appearances including Kamila Thomson and Neil Cowley.
