Sam Shields

Tynedale wordsmith harnesses Americana to tell homegrown stories

Today’s guest is Ovingham singer songwriter, Sam Shields - a familiar face in Northumberland performing solo with his guitar or with his band The Regiment.

In this episode, Sam talks about his distinctive British take on Americana, the importance of authenticity, the joy of lyrics, managing social media and the pleasure – or otherwise – of hearing your own voice.

Sam plays three songs specially for the podcast: Wasting My Time, Penny’s Daughter and Mother Nature. Some of Sam’s music is available on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music but the best way to hear him is to catch one of his many gigs. You can find out about these through his Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/SamShieldsSingerSongwriter.
