Part I
Part II____________________________________________________Sam's the Hero BioWhat was once intended as a side-project and a "one time use" filler band, has now become the passion and purpose in the lives of three young men.When Virginia Beach, VA local band Solitude was unable to fulfill a date they had committed to, vocalist/lead guitarist, Jon Carolino, called on friends Jeff Riggs and Neil Donohue from local band Flipside. The three worked out an eclectic arrangement of cover songs and filled in. Thus, the side-project, Sam's the Hero, was born from one night of covers, a really good time, and a common love of music, laughter, and God.Now, though Solitude and Flipside are no longer together, Sam's the Hero is going stronger than ever. At first riding more on personality and sense of humor than actual musicianship, the trio has matured musically over the past two years, with a style appealing to a large audience of music fans, and crossing genre borders. With a full-length CD due to release in February of 2006, a memorable live show, and a busy booking schedule, Sam's the Hero anxiously awaits all that has been planned for them, and are greatful for all they've been blessed with thus far.If you are interested in booking us please contactJeff
