Sam Robbins describes himself as an &quot;old soul singer songwriter.&quot; A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70&#x27;s singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive touring and as the first artist to perform a Jim Croce song on NBC&#x27;s The Voice. He is currently one of 24 finalists in the 2021 Kerville New Folk Festival songwriting competition, one of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country.
Sam is releasing his debut album, Finally Feeling Young, on May 14th, 2021. The album is reminiscent of his 70&#x27;s singer-songwriter heroes, with a modern perspective. On the heels of the award winning opening single, &#x27;Remind Me&quot;, Finally Feeling Young has already garnered radio airplay and has produced several other award winning tracks, including the social commentary single &quot;Saying Amen.&quot; Of the album, Robbins says: “This is my first album, and I think it’s special in that way. There’s a feeling of discovery in it. You can hear my voice, and my perspective, change throughout the recording. My artistry is something that I think listeners want but are missing today.”
A multi-instrumentalist from a young age, Sam began learning drums and piano, falling in love with guitar at age 13. He then started writing original music, recording his first CD during his sophomore year of high school, while playing open mics in his hometown of Portsmouth, NH. 
Over his career, Sam has performed countless shows across the country, in theaters, house concerts, biker bars, weddings, proposals, frat parties, and everything in between. Sam is able to tour full time, and feels at home in both intimate listening rooms and larger venues. Wherever he is performing, Sam builds an intimate, easy connection with the listener, naturally creating a feeling of closeness throughout the performance.
Since moving to Nashville in September 2019 following his graduation from Berklee College of Music, Sam has made a splash in music city - performing at the Bluebird Cafe within a month of moving, and sitting in again at the legendary venue with Liz Longley in February. Sam was the audience winner of the &quot;Nashville Rising Song&quot; qualifier event in September, and won the Eddie&#x27;s Attic Songwriter&#x27;s shootout competition in Atlanta in early March 2020.
In 2018, Sam was able to audition on NBC&#x27;s The Voice for Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Jennifer Hudson. He was the season&#x27;s &quot;Young James Taylor&quot; and he was the first artist to ever perform a Jim Croce song on the show. 
Sam considers himself a student of songwriting, constantly searching and learning about why songs have the impact they do. A 2019 graduate of Berklee College of Music&#x27;s songwriting department, he has hosted many songwriting workshops and masterclasses, including at the Harvard Music Department and the Boys &amp; Girls Club of Boston. In his performances and workshops, Sam explores the magic behind the craft of songwriting, and tries to help others express themselves through the unique and powerful medium of songwriting. 
Sam&#x27;s debut album Finally Feeling Young is out on May 14th, 2021.
