Sam is a seasoned bassist and touring musician with nearly a decade of experience performing at the highest levels of the music industry. Most notably, he spent 9 years as the bassist for Grammy-nominated country-pop artist Kelsea Ballerini, supporting major tours, TV appearances, and award show performances across the U.S. and internationally.

Beyond technical skill, Sam brings emotional intelligence, deep musical intuition, and a collaborative spirit to every project. His playing is groove-driven and intentional — rooted in tone, taste, and feel rather than flash. With a proven track record in high-pressure live settings, he knows how to support the artist, elevate the moment, and stay locked in with the rhythm section and playback rig.

Now pivoting into the worlds of hip-hop, R&B, and soul-infused pop, Sam is exploring new sonic territory while leaning on years of stage wisdom. He’s currently available for live performance, session work (in-person or remote), playback/live band support, and creative collaborations with producers, music directors, and artists who are building something real.

If you’re looking for a bassist who’s grounded, flexible, and focused on serving the song — not the ego — Sam is ready to lock in.
