Sam Wedgwood is a true multi-talent.
Not
only a gifted singer and instrumentalist (guitar, piano,
trumpet....you name it) but also a fantastic songwriter with a
uniquely soulful voice. I'm actually quite jealous.
Sam has revolutionised the idea of solo
gigging; one guy, completely live, a full band sound... and a
whole lot cheaper

Everyone was up and dancing as soon
as Sam started his set – awesome!

Sam performs as a guitarist /
singer, looper and pianist at weddings, private
parties, corporate functions and public venues throughout the
Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, Australia.
Originally a classically trained trumpeter, Sam won a
trumpet scholarship to the Royal Academy in London, but later
became more pop based. Previously, as the multi-instrumentalist
in Jamie Cullum’s band, he toured extensively and played in
top venues throughout the globe.
Sam is in extremely high demand as a functions performer
because the show he puts on is, in many respects,
exceptional. I have never seen another artist get so many people
on the dance floor at a wedding in such a short amount of
time. He’s modern, he’s original and he cuts out the need for a
four piece band.
Watching him build his
performance with his RC-50 loop station is absolutely fascinating – the sound is
great, but it’s visually stimulating as well, because you’re
watching an artist at work, performing incredibly complex
musical and technical sets. Sam invariably becomes a genuine
talking point after he has performed; come and watch him at one
of his public gigs and see for yourself.

Everything you hear on the video has been performed live by Sam.
(Some parts which may sound like a backing track, were
performed live by him minutes or seconds earlier and looped back, while he
adds vocals and other layers to the 'full band' sound.) For more
