Based out of San Jose California, Sam Feinstein is what a Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, and Tower of Power collaboration might sound like. His gruff voice, chaotic instrumentals, and sardonic lyrics cast him as a wrestling-heel, or a villain listeners will love to hate.  

Born and raised in Peabody Massachusetts, Sam got his musical start on piano at age 7, adding bass-guitar, upright bass, guitar, cello, ukulele, percussion, synth, harmonica, and more to the mix. In high school, he started a ska band and a klezmer band. He moved off to Miami for college to study Music Engineering at the Frost School of Music. In college, he formed a bluegrass/folk band and another ska band. He also toured with a Nashville-based blues-rock band and contributed to various other musical projects spanning pop, rnb, hip-hop, rock, folk, and metal genres. He wrote and performed a rock-opera as “Strawman” for his senior recital, which was the prototype for the music he makes today. 

After college, he moved to San Jose to work on audio for echo devices at Amazon. Since then he’s joined a pop-punk band and indie-pop band, before venturing on his own with his debut single “Chasing the Bull”.
