Sam Moss is a Brattleboro, VT based composer and string player. He has released several albums of solo guitar music and is also a member of STRING BAND. His work has won praise from NPR, Pop Matters, and Blurt Magazine, among others. Moss’ playing is heavily informed by pre-war American country, blues, and folk (Blind Willie Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers), post-1950 pioneers of outer sound (Morton Feldman, Sonny Sharrock), and contemporary solo guitarists (Jack Rose, Glenn Jones). In addition to several self-released albums, Moss’ work has appeared on Future Folk, Baby Castle, and Tompkins Square Records. http://www.sammoss.net kayln rock’s songs come straight from her soul. Although she’s been writing and performing for less than five years, the songs she sings have the depth and polish of a life-long performer. She can charm you with a whimsical ode like, “Peanut Butter Jam,” a tune that hides its vulnerability behind a façade of ironic humor or break your heart with the painful honesty of “Valentine,” a song so full of longing that it’s almost hard to listen to. “I like being around people and don’t take myself too seriously”, Rock says, “But I also like being alone to explore my deeper emotions. I want to create songs that are serious and substantial.”
