i love how they keep their guitars pretty clean, forces them to not rely on effects and concentrate on the actual playing and melodies, which they do really well.
These muso's play with a lot of passion and even more skill.... yet even better they really groove and move to their music... my faith in the future of blues and roots music is that much stronger seeing and hearing this truly amazing band... go hard... go soft... go long
Talented and beautiful Military Brats. There is hope for America with Young Women playing the blues. Its a revival in music like the 60's and 70's. Make America Great Again
Shake, Sammy, Shake ! Sadie is cutting her fingernails on the guitar and Krista is keeping cool and plays a great solo ! Not to forget Sam Motter and Matt McCarthy, you're doing also a great job ! Incredible performance ! Thank you !
Oh that was brilliant fun! Thanks mate, I'd love to be able to go and see them, you'd have a great night! They're tight, talented, and are obviously loving it! :-)
Sam Johnson and Krista Hess may have been in college at this time. Sadie has toured with Girls with guitars. Sadie and Krista are playing at a high level now.
I think it's time to start a ritual guitar burning .. :) Great to see such young people rocking out on a blues tune, there's still hope for blues! Great work, all of them!
This brought back great memories of hearing Danny Gatton way back in the day playing this style of rockabilly guitar--quite a compliment, because Danny Gatton was an absolute monster guitar player. Good job by the Sad Sam Blues Band!
Sam the driver, sadie the sound, krista the painter . No other play so harmonic as This Band-includet the big blues Band-The absolut best Blues band- Wine must be older The world kness on you floor . Be together Girl`s. No one is better!!!!
When people whine about modern music, like Taylor Swift or Miley (I admire both, but haven't heard much from either that grabs me. Just not my style), or pop stars, I try to mention that just about any music that was once heard is still being played, somewhere. You just have to find it. And LISTEN. These 3 ladies are a prime example. Thank you for posting this!
I hope they push back college, and take a few years to try the music world. Save some money, and there is always time for school. I didn't go until I was 28. A lousy student, I suddenly got A's. And when the economy tanked, after graduation - I went back on the road! Now that's a plan B! (but at my level, there wasn't a lot of money to be had. After 5 years, I went back to the world of straight jobs... Ugh!)
+Bruce Morris I think their guitar duels remind me of the movie Crossroads. Sadie has played with Blues Traveler three times. She duels with John Popper. I saw duel with a sax player when they were playing jazz at Yatts in Indianapolis, Indiana.
+bluzeblast Sam Motter He plays in some of the other Sam Sam Blues Jam videos. He played with the band at the Slippery Noodle in Indianapolis, Indiana.
I know things have to change, people have to grow up and have their own lives, and even such greatly talented musicians can have passions other than performance bands, and musical directions mature and diverge, but damn I wish these people were still together. They were just SOOO wonderful together, especially with the sax. I still come across Sam on bass sometimes - her husband has matured into an excellent guitarist, and she's an even better bassist, just as great a showman and even more beautiful - and of course I still see Sadie sometimes doing stuff around her college schedule. She's comfortable playing with pretty much anyone, just a natural. But I don't see Krista nearly often enough, and when I do, she's technically a better player but just doesn't seem to be having as much fun. (I hope I'm wrong, but she seemed more at ease with Sadie, and so often she seems to be playing second fiddle to guys who aren't as good singers or guitarists.) Have to look up Sam Waller (if that's his name?) on sax too, he's great. But it would have been so great for us fans if these guys had been willing to have a career like the Stones or the Dead or the Allman Brothers.
