Tight band. Great groove. Come to Baltimore next time so I don’t have to drive so far.
Hadn’t heard of Sam Evian before the weekend of his concert in DC. I listened to his new album prior to purchasing tickets and enjoyed the album. Boy, was the concert different from the album listening experience. It was clear that Sam didn’t want to be there. He stopped and started the set multiple times, even cutting off the entire band in the middle of multiple songs and apologizing to the audience that he was tired, etc etc. Sir, this is your job? If I did that in the middle of a presentation, I’d be fired. The audience tried to hype up the band and Sam, but it was clear the energy and excitement wasn’t there. What was a fun rock album on Spotify got turned into a depressing elegy of tunes thanks to Sam and his attitude. I will not be seeing him again and would not recommend him to friends.
