Adopted at childhood into a family from Spartanburg, SC, Sam Godfrey is an artist whose music embodies American grit and heart.  Sam and his band bring a high-energy blend of Country and Americana classics, along with original tunes, that keep crowds near the stage and connected to something real. His journey into music took off in 2024 when he teamed up with former Marshall Tucker Band guitarist Rusty Milner and began cutting demos. Rooted in South Carolina soil and raised on southern gospel, steel-guitar cowboy ballads, and the highway heartland rock of the ’80s, Sam has forged a sound steeped in storytelling, southern tradition, and raw authenticity.

 

Opening for iconic artists such as Josh Turner and SJ McDonald,  in addition to performances across theatres and festivals in the Southeast—including Henderson Auditorium, Whiskey Cowgirl, Preservation Pub, Cowboy Up GVL, Anderson Soirée, and Mill Town Theatre—Sam is proud to carry on a legacy of honest music. His latest high-energy EP, "Ride Along," is available now.
