ABOUT
I’m mainly a singer, guitarist, and songwriter, though I can play the bass drums a little bit as well. I’ve been in a couple of bands over the years and am able to work and write in a band setting. I’m currently Edinburgh based but I’m more looking for session work, but I’m happy to discuss joining a band as well.
A lot of the stuff I listen to/play/write is random and can range from reggae to funk to flamenco to metal to everything in between and more. Not too keen on pop or country but I'm open to it.
You can find some of the work I’ve done on my samstewartmusic.uk

Influences
For guitar, my influences are mainly blues and rock. But over the past few years, I've been experimenting with more psychedelia, funk, indie, and a little bit of jazz and metal
For vocals, it could be anything, your guess is as good as mine. For exclusively the harsh vocals, I take a lot of influence from Kurt Cobain, Robert Plant, Paolo Nutini, and Evil by Cactus
I feel like I’m always being inspired by different genres, artists, and songs every day, and I try to incorporate that as much as I can into my playing and writing.
