Sam Moss is a Brattleboro, VT based composer, songwriter, and string player. He has released a handful of solo albums and is also a member of The Howling Kettles (formerly known as STRING BAND), The Rear Defrosters, and Jug-Tonk Stompers. His work has won praise from NPR, Pop Matters, and Blurt Magazine, among others.

Moss’ playing is heavily informed by pre-war American country, blues, and folk (Blind Willie Johnson, Jimmie Rodgers), post-1950 pioneers of outer sound (Morton Feldman, Sonny Sharrock), and contemporary solo guitarists (Jack Rose, Glenn Jones).

In addition to several self-released albums, Moss’ work has appeared on Future Folk, Baby Castle, and Tompkins Square Records.
