Tyler Dodson is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, born in the foothills of the Sauratown mountains in Stokes County, North Carolina, whose musical journey weaves a tapestry of sounds and stories as eclectic as the South itself. From crafting soul-stirring melodies or exploring and sharing the depths of his own psyche, he remains steadfast in his commitment to the art of story. His eclectic musical tastes, ranging from the rebellious anthems of The Strokes to the raw poetry of master songwriters like John Prine, Guy Clark and Tom Petty, all the way to soul pioneers such as Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding, helped to shape his distinctive blend of Americana; some even referring to Dodson as a “country Bill Withers”.

Sam Lewis has collaborated with everyone from Leon Russell to The Wood Brothers. Chris Stapleton dubbed him “a modern Townes Van Zandt”. He’s often labeled with some form of the word ‘soulful’ (some comparing his voice to molasses), Lewis’ style meets at a juncture of many different genres however he’s discovered what most musicians spend lifetimes working for; the place where feel-good music meets vital social commentary. A decade worth of touring his studio efforts (mostly solo) he has captivated audiences all around the world with his songs and stories that are glued together with a unique stage banter he’s developed from performing in numerous music halls, clubs, theaters, festivals, music cruises and the occasional living room. SOLO (2020) is a solo-acoustic album featuring new songs as well as reimagining previously released songs. Recorded at Southern Ground Studios in Nashville in front of a live audience SOLO is an intimate snapshot that captures Lewis in his element and is certain to be a fan favorite for years to come.
