What they have to say about Sam Grimes...
"Singer-songwriter Sam Grimes plays her guitar upside down- a leftie, she learned to strum on a right handed guitar and never switched to the "correct" position. Still, if the material on her debut EP [The EP] is any indication, the guitar is the only thing in reverse. Still a teenager living in suburban Forest Lake, Grimes is already developing a distinctive musical presence reminiscent of Ani DiFranco and Sarah McLachlan, with a sophistication unusual in someone so young." - Twin Cities Onion
"Of all the diamonds in the rough that I've played here on the program, that's the first one that is already really starting to show the shine, even before she breaks out," - Adam Waltemire - WMEL Florida
