‘Your music seems to be quite accomplished; each of the three songs I listened to has a definite melody, which is obviously a key element to being successful. I can see it appealing to fans of Cat Stevens, who you've included in your influences.’

'...some great lyrics and a very sweet voice.'

Hi. My name is Sam Draisey, and I'm a 21 year old Singer/Songwriter from just outside Wolverhampton. I've finally come to generalise my style under the heading of 'Acoustic Folk-Pop', but you can of course make your own judgements on that!
I'm always on the look out for new (and old!) places for me to play music, so if you would like to offer me the chance to play for you, I'd be more than happy to oblige (so long as there is a nearby train I can jump on!). Anyone who successfully finds or books me a gig gets a free CD from me as a thank you!
I currently run three open mic nights a month at various venues around the Wolverhampton area. These are;
Once a fortnight at The Woodman in Bilbrook, always on a Thursday.
Once a month at The Bird in Hand in Tettenhall, always on a Friday.
The dates are always up in advance in my gig listings above, so if you would like to come down to either watch or play, you are more than welcome :)
Finally, if you have any comments about anything at all, from my recording above, live shows whenever im playing, booking details or just fancy a general chat, leave a message in the box and I promise to get back to you as soon as I can. Alternatively, you can also email me at sam@draisey.com :)
Clicking on the Youtube button will take you to the openmicuk Youtube page, where you can see videos of me and my friends from my various open mic nights playing our songs. If you get chance, please stop by and have a look. I have some very talented friends! :)
You can see some of my videos from that website here :)
