About SAM HILL and the PICKERS

Sometimes it feels like modern music has all but abandoned the distinctive guitar styles and soulful songwriting that defined early country and rock legends. Tasty guitar licks. Lighting fast picking. Tone that hits you square in the heart. No need to hide behind a mirage of effects. Just let the playing speak for itself. Now you’re talking our language. If it ain’t got some of that twang, it don't mean a thang. 

 

Sam Hill and the Pickers plants its feet at the intersection of country and rock, tracing roots that span a diverse musical landscape. From traditional country trailblazers and southern rock pioneers to improvisational jambands and iconic riff crafters, Sam Hill goes beneath the surface to unearth timeless classics, toe-tappers and dual guitar-fueled instrumentals.
