Los Angeles Musician Sam Weber Mines Inner Truths to Channel New Singer-Songwriter Release “Hey Hey”

Sam Weber is a Canadian musician known for his distinctive style that blends elements of folk, rock, and Americana. 

A perceptive and compelling singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in the vein of Jackson Browne, The Band, The Wood Brothers and Gillian Welch, Weber has been touring independently and internationally with his band since 2013 — just after he scored a glowing profile in Guitar Player magazine. 

Years spent refining songs at home in North Saanich, BC, working in studios in Los Angeles, and gigging relentlessly across Canada and throughout the western US have honed Weber’s craft to a fine point.

Leading into spring 2024, Weber is sharing “Hey Hey,” a song whose tumbling percussion and introspective acoustic guitar serve to articulate and realize the concept that “the truth always rises to the surface,” Weber explains. 

“The music I write that feels good is me articulating a truth to myself. Sometimes in the moment I don’t understand what it means and it sort of comes to fruition at some point. It can seem clairvoyant when it happens like that.”

Having directly improvised the song’s first verse and chorus, Weber felt as if he were channeling the song out of the air, “seeing what’s under the surface by letting it come out” instead of overthinking the process.
