In 2005, local Baltimore songwriter, Adam Trice, founded Red Sammy, the dark and menacing, graveyard country rock band when he partnered with local artist, songwriter, and former bassist for the band, Katie Feild. In 2007, the duo released their first, full-length, self-titled album recorded at Cleancuts Music in Baltimore’s thrivingly unique art community of Hampden. The album contains eleven picturesque songs that juxtapose gritty sounds with vibrant bursts of harmonic splendor. From the mellow ocean-tide groove of "Outside" to the raw-rocking grunge licks of "King on the Road", Red Sammy's songs reach the core of the listener.
Red Sammy captures the hope in desperation, the beauty in imperfection with honest, working-class songwriting. Currently, Red Sammy consists of songwriter Adam Trice along with a variety of talented local Baltimore musicians.
"It's freight-jumping, wedding ring-pawning music" Violet Glaze, Baltimore City Paper
