Sam Outlaw is a southern Californian singer-songwriter steeped in the music and mythos of west coast country, absorbing the classic vibes of everything from '60s Bakersfield honky-tonk to '70s Laurel Canyon troubadour pop and refashioning them into a sound that's pleasurably past, present and future tense. “The music I play, I call 'SoCal country,'” says Outlaw. “It's country music but with a Southern California spirit to it.What is it about Southern California that gives it that spirit, I don't exactly know. But there's an idea that I like that says -every song, even happy songs, are written from a place of sadness. If there's a special sadness to Southern California it's that there's an abiding shadow of loss of what used to be. But then, like with any place, you have a resilient optimism as well."
