Sam Robbins is a fascinating storyteller whose music resonates on a deep emotional level. His latest release is a folk single called “Piles of Sand”. The song is the second single off of his upcoming album So Much I Still Don’t See.

“Piles of Sand” begins with beautiful guitar picking and soon ushers in Sam’s rich vocals. The song produced by Seth Glier is centered around a man and his guitar and the simplicity is beautiful and important. He confides, “Walking down a riverside path in Nashville, next to the barbed wire of a prison, watching and feeling gravel being blasted for a high flying condo building across the street was a very inspiring moment. After walking further and seeing a huge pile of gravel soaring high across the street, the first chorus lyric was immediately written down as it appears in the song now: “I thought it was a mountain but it was just a pile of sand towering so high, a nine to five creation”. This line and rhythm was springboard for the rest of the song, steeped in Stoicism, written that afternoon.”  “Piles of Sand” is different than his first single release which was more pop infused. Both are standout tracks and perfect first tastes of what is to come on the album.

Sam Robbins has built his career around his touring and storied songwriting. The artist spent over 45,000 miles on the road just last year and plans on continuing his musical journey through releasing his new album and touring across the US.
