Sam Evian

Sam Evian, (born Sam Griffin Owens) is a New York-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.

Sam has been recording a new record to be released in 2018. Premium, Sam’s debut on Saddle Creek records, won audience and critical notice for songs that included the first single and video “Sleep Easy” (https://youtu.be/tqjVCNMTd_k). Premium’s release saw Sam Evian (Brian Betancourt on bass, Austin Vaughn on drums, and Adam Brisbin or Buck Meek on guitar – often joined by Hannah Cohen for additional vocals) touring throughout the year with Whitney, Big Thief, Nick Hakim, The Districts, Allah-Las, Teenage Fanclub, Lucius, Rubblebucket and Luna, as well as headlining around the US. This is Sam Evian’s UK debut.

Sam Evian released “Need You” and “I Remember” in October 2017. The single was a collaboration with Chris Cohen, whose solo and band records with Deerhoof and The Curtains were early inspirations for Sam, and its release anticipates a new full-length LP Sam recorded with his band in 2018.

When not on the road, Sam is often found producing and engineering at Brooklyn’s Figure 8 studio, where he collaborates with artists such as Cass McCombs, Blonde Redhead, Deerhoof, Sam Amidon, Shahzad Ismaily, and many others.
