    SAM ROBBINS is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A nationally touring musician whose music evokes songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and Liz Longley, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville and Falcon Ridge Folk Festivals.

    CAM OLVER is a Newton based solo guitarist specializing in fingerstyle. He creates intricate arrangements that seemingly defy the capabilities of one instrument and emulate the lavish construction of a full band. The result is a wonderfully complex and unique kind of contemporary folk music. Cam graduated Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Performance and Recording and Production. His studies were full of varied ensemble experiences, as well as an in depth development of his skills as a guitarist and a solo arranger. He has put these skills to use in his post-grad projects including an EP release, numerous covers, and fingerstyle specific competitions such as the 2024 Natasha International Fingerstyle Competition where he placed in the finals. Cam’s solo EP “Staying In” has recently been released.

    What's the music?

    Cam Olver

    Contemporary fingerstyle guitar encompasses a wide range of styles and techniques. It is characterized by its emphasis on intricate fingerpicking patterns, melodic complexity, and often the incorporation of percussive elements. While the melody sings, the expansion of technique drives the arrangement, creating lavish and full arrangements that capture the complexity of a much larger ensemble.
