Born and raised in WytheCounty in southwest Virginia, Sam Gleaves performs innovative mountain music with a sense of history and has now joined forces with Tyler Hamilton to release their eponymously titled album on June 16^th via Community Music. 

Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy choose Sam as his Resistance track in The Guardian this Spring and Sam plays the following UK dates this summer : 

Ain’t We Brothers was Sam's debut record of original songs, released in the US in November, 2015. Produced by Cathy Fink, AIN’T WE BROTHERS also features guest artists Janis Ian, Tim O’Brien, Laurie Lewis, Marcy Marxer,  Tyler Hughes and others. 

 “If a remake of ‘O, Brother!’ is made some decades from now, it is quite likely that Sam Gleaves will be standing where Ralph Stanley stood."         

Gaye Adegbalola, Blues Woman, Blues Music Award Winner.

 "Courageous as hell and country to the bone. Varied, intelligent, moving…these songs stay with you."

Lee Smith, novelist, Queen of Appalachian Literature 

“A stunning first album . . . surprising from a 23 year-old still refreshingly wet behind his commercial ears.  I keep very few albums that I’m given.  This one’s a keeper.”

Peggy Seeger, Folk Singer and Songwriter.
