Sam Outlaw is a singer-songwriter living in Nashville, TN. Born Samuel Morgan  in South Dakota, and raised primarily in Southern California, his stage name comes  from his mother’s maiden name. 

In November 2021, Sam released his new full-length album, Popular Mechanics

Working as an advertising executive in his twenties, he performed small bar gigs near  his home in Los Angeles starting in 2009 but kept his advertising career until 2015,  when he left his corporate job to become a full-time touring musician. 

At age 33, Sam released his debut album Angeleno in 2015. Produced by Ry Cooder  and Joachim Cooder, Angeleno introduced Sam as a distinctly assured voice in the  Country and Americana scene. The album garnered awards and critical acclaim from  Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, NPR and countless others. 

His follow-up album, Tenderheart, gave Outlaw his first foray into self-producing  and further evolved his “So Cal Country” sound by introducing more elements of  mainstream pop music. Also a critical success, Tenderheart was heralded as one of  the year’s best country albums, supported by a full tour of North America and dozens  of shows in Europe. 

In 2018, Sam moved with his wife and kids from LA to Nashville to seek a better  environment for raising their two small children, and the following year made his  Grand Ole Opry debut. 2019 also brought the release of a concept album EP called  Hat Acts that weaves together three original songs and three comedic skits to create a  surrealist storyline of honky-tonk melodrama, set in Southern California. 

In the Fall of 2021, Sam returned to the Opry stage for two performances, and made  an appearance at AmericanaFest in Nashville. In March of 2022, Sam resumed a  regular touring schedule with dates across Europe and the United States

VICTORIA BAILEY

Victoria Bailey has got it figured out; all one needs in life is simply Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline.

Grounding her timeless country music palette is her crystalline voice; an inviting warm tone with the occasional flutter that transports you back in time to a classic honky tonk where they’re playing the aforementioned Cline, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton on rotation — all of whom she has carried from the dive bar to the main stage.
