Sam Outlaw plus Hannah Aldridge at Cottiers
15 April, 2025
Sam Outlaw was born in the Midwest, grew up in California, and now lives in Nashville.
“Outlaw” is his mother’s maiden name.
Sam worked as an advertising executive in his twenties while writing songs as a hobby and eventually started performing at small bar gigs near his home in Los Angeles. In 2015, Sam left his advertising career to pursue music full-time when he was offered a tour opening for Justin Townes Earle.
Sam is an Americana Award winning artist who rarely releases cover songs, in part because his original songs have garnered plenty of their own critical acclaim and worldwide attention. Songs like “Ghost Town”, “Tenderheart” and “For The Rest of Our Lives” have racked up multiple millions of streams and views, and earned him fans in every corner of the globe.
Admirers include Ryan Adams who has publicly praised Sam for his “beyond great songwriting” and the late John Prine that welcomed Sam to open some of his final shows.
“Sam Outlaw has a wonderfully rich and mournful country voice.” – The Telegraph
