OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
This week on Songwriters From Here and Away, we welcome rising songwriter Sam Robbins for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about songwriting, touring, creativity, and his tunes.
Often described as an “old soul singer-songwriter,” Sam blends the warmth and storytelling tradition of artists like James Taylor and Jackson Browne with a modern folk sensibility all his own. A Berklee College of Music graduate and nationally touring performer, Sam has quickly become one of the most respected emerging voices in today’s folk community.
In this episode, Sam dives deep into the craft of songwriting — where ideas come from, how songs evolve, and what makes certain lyrics resonate long after the music ends. Along the way, he performs and we share tracks, tells stories from the road, and talks openly about the realities of building a career in independent music.
Sam’s accomplishments include:
- Winner of the prestigious 2021 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition
- “Most Wanted to Return” artist at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival
- Main stage performances at Kerrville, Falcon Ridge, Philadelphia Folk Festival and more
- Over 200 live performances per year across North America
- Shared stages with artists including Jason Mraz and David Wilcox
- Named one of Atwood Magazine’s “Artists to Watch” for 2025
- Increasing recognition as an outstanding fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter
His latest album, So Much I Still Don’t See, produced by Seth Glier, captures the reflective spirit of a young songwriter shaped by thousands of touring miles, deep conversations, and a growing understanding of the world around him.
