After weeks of nagging from fellow blogger Larrami I finally sat down and listened to Sam Bradley's music on myspace, after listening to Soho Whores I knew I was in love (yes I should listen to Larrami more often, she turned me onto Bobby Long!). I guess the best way to describe his music is accoustic rock meets blues and jazz (faintly) with a swig of country. Yeah he's basically all rolled up into one and it actually sounds good. So after putting his music player on repeat during my work day I was excited to finally see Sam play live at Hotel Cafe.
Now you're probably wondering why you know that name (Sam Bradley) well he was one of the co-writers for Rob Pattinson's 'Never Think' and he's out to prove he's more than a famous person's best friend.
Before the show Sam met up with a few members from Land of Dreamers for a meet & Greet and photo op. He didn't just do the usual stand next to me cuz I'm HOT pose, he actually participated in funny poses and joked around for a few minutes. It gave me a chance to just observe Sam and he was extremely open and friendly. Once he was done with the ladies from LoD I was able to get a pic with him (sorry I'm not that fun it was a simple pic). Standing next to him I realize he's tall (YAH!) and he's very nice so I have to like him, right?
The show over all was GREAT!! And yes I'm gushing because the passion that flows through him makes you want to bottle it up and pray you will be just as passionate about something in your life (ok maybe that's just me but still EFFING PASSIONATE!). Two things in the show that sticks out for me has to be when he brought his mom, singer Lee Lindsey out on stage with him. OMG!! When I first saw his mom arrive I really thought it was his older sister. She's a beautiful blonde woman with a hippy feel to her and just so laid back. Then the woman has a voice that reminds me of Melissa Etheridge meets Jewel. Very talented and if you have a chance to pick up one of her CD's, you will not be disappointed!
My second favoite moment of the night had to be when he played TOO FAR GONE! Oh it was amamzing how the crowd sang along. LOL
Now don't get it twisted Sam Bradley is not riding Robert Pattinson's coattails, its his talent pure and simple. I hope he has a long and wonderful career! Last night was simply the best way to end a 3 day holiday weekend!
