We are very pleased that
SAM LEWIS
will be headlining a show at Katie Fitzgerald?s in Stourbridge on
Wednesday 09 November 2022

Sam will be playing two sets with an intermission midway through.

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 have even compared 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.

After spending a nomadic youth throughout the Southeast (USA), he began calling Nashville home in 2009. Since then he?s been joined on his journey by some of music?s most righteous and luminary figures. He has pressed the first few chapters in his career?s studio anthology with the release of his self-titled debut (2012), sophomore release Waiting On You (2015), third studio release Loversity (2018) and live-acoustic album Solo (2020). All have received critical acclaim and each session has grown with the legendary family for which he has adopted to curate and share his musical inner-vision with his listeners.

While each album has a distinct sound, they all circle back to one universal theme and certainly something you will hear Lewis preach to his audience, ?we are all trying to get somewhere ? all running from something or toward something; we?re all in it together, though.?

Katie Fitzgeralds has built a reputation for live music and parties but it's about more than that its also about history and tradition.

Originally a private house the building is over 200 years old and has been a pub since the 1830 Beer Act.

In the 19th century it would have been home to foundry workers and boatmen and would have looked out across to the Stourbridge canal arm where Foster and Rastrick built the Stourbridge Lion the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA.

Originally known as the Golden Lion it later became known as the Stourbridge Lion and then in 2000 it
became our home and was renamed in honour of Trina's grandmother Katie Fitzgerald who was born in Cloyne County Cork.

Trina is related to Irelands most famous hurling player Christy Ring, a son of Cloyne and is also cousin of Donal ag Cusack , Irelands first openly gay sportsman.
