Sam Hahn is more than just another singer-songwriter. Yes, he is a singer in that his very soulful voice ranges from a velvety crooner's timbre to the gritty growl of a juke-joint lyrical poet. His thoughtful storytelling bounces from lovelorn heartbreak to revenge fantasies to getting on with life and getting it done. Yes, he is a songwriter in the way he crafts elements of pop, funk, jazz, and baroque orchestration into the broad and unique bands he conjures up. But Sam Hahn is overall a genre-defying musician who when solo has enough moxie to blow away a room with his sharp, angular stories and when he utilizes the excellent back-up players he enlists to fill out his songs with impressive depth and expansive sounds, he gets bodies moving, dancing, and sweating on the floor.
