Sammy Volkov
Imagine if Roy Orbison and Townes Van Zandt co-wrote a song - weird - but it kinda works. Alberta-based Sammy Volkov's debut album ‘Be Alright!’ was celebrated by western-Canadian tastemakers, and his second (a country duets collection called 'The Day Had To Come') topped Bandcamp’s ‘Best Country Music of 2024’ list. His upcoming solo album “Songs From the Goodbye Garden” offers an eclectic range of styles, celebrating Sammy’s love for romantic 1960s pop and dreamy chamber folk.
