Sam Ness grew up in Sauk City, Wisconsin and is the youngest person to enter the Madison Music Hall of Fame (for Male Vocalist in 2024). He has shared the stage with America (The Band), Styx, Night Ranger, Chris Barron (Spin Doctors), & many more. Mixing traditional folk/Americana roots with an alternative-indie feel, Sam Ness finds inspiration in the ancient cobblestone streets across the globe on his adventures. Sometimes he’s wild and dance oriented; other moments raw, emotional & punctuated by moments of silence. Sam’s show changes every night.
