Connect with Sam Animal: Facebook |
Sam Powell (AKA Sam Animal) is a Bristol, UK based singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. Animal gained a degree in commercial songwriting and professional musicianship at BIMM. He is releasing his debut album titled, Powers on February 18, 2019. Together with Rufus Pollard, Kieta Bennetts, Patrick McKechnie and Taylor Wheeler, Animal is presenting fourteen tracks that are full of catchy melodies and well-penned lyrics. After returning from a long stint away traveling abroad, Animal found himself gardening in exchange for a bed at the Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury. The building is a very old and special place, its walls built in the sixteenth century and its foundations dating back to the thirteenth century. It is in the library of this house that Powers was created. Much like a bard from the Medieval era, Animals experiences and travels form the basis of his songs leading up to his arrival at the Abbey House. John Porter, producer of 13 Grammy Award Winning albums was at the helm.
