Patrick Sampson

Only in his early 20s, Patrick Sampson has been channeling the maturity of an older, seasoned songwriter ever since he wrote his first song at the age of 15. The depth of his lyrics and storytelling abilities could’ve been created by songwriters at least twice his age. He can reel you in with a soothing, very personal acoustic song, then change lanes and tear things up on his Gretsch electric guitar (Patrick became one of Gretsch’s youngest Endorsed Artists at the ripe old age of 17) and a multi-octave voice that doesn’t sound like anyone else in the business. It’s no wonder the Watertown, New York native has been called a younger version of James Taylor, Gary Clark Jr., Tracy Chapman, and other gifted storytelling musicians.
