The Sam Houseal Band is a Lehigh Valley-based folk/Americana quintet focused on performing the music of Sam Houseal. Sam is a Pennsylvania-grown musician who’s performed across the world and back. Sam’s music is influenced by his roots in Americana, Rock, and Folk, with a dash of soulful tendencies sprinkled in. Lyrically, Sam has drawn from personal experiences and mainly sings about love and love gone bad, such as on titles like “Time Goes By” and “Wish You Were Here”. However, you still find story-telling folk-like lines on tunes like “Come In Out Of The Rain”.
Rich three-part harmonies and soulful lyrics compliment Sam’s powerful voice and large vocal range. Combine that with unique catchy hooks, upbeat energy, and the band’s artful instrumentation, and the listeners are engaged from start to finish.
Sam and his bandmates released their first studio single “Time Goes By” at a 2022 performance at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, Pa. They followed with a 2023 release of a four-song studio EP “Out Of The Rain”, accompanied by a performance at the Asbury Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
