InfluencesThe songwriting ability of Fran Healy, as well as the entire musical vibe of Travis. Preston Clarke's "Sentimental Breakdown", The beautiful and poetic lyrics of Anna Nalick. Other influences of a less musical nature that inspire lyrics are England, Scotland, rainy days, starry nights, cold Minnesota autumn mornings, brand new strings, and Forest Lake.
Sounds LikeAcoustic shows - Sarah Mclachlan, Anna Nalick, Alanis Morrisette, Jack Johnson. Full band shows - it's more of a drive, more pop, more funk and alternative soul to it. It's Grimey goodness...duh. Check this out - my arm fat looks, well, chubby but I don't care! Kelly Bresin of MCAD made this and it's pretty neato!

What they have to say about Sam Grimes...

"Singer-songwriter Sam Grimes plays her guitar upside down- a leftie, she learned to strum on a right handed guitar and never switched to the "correct" position. Still, if the material on her debut EP [The EP] is any indication, the guitar is the only thing in reverse. Still a teenager living in suburban Forest Lake, Grimes is already developing a distinctive musical presence reminiscent of Ani DiFranco and Sarah McLachlan, with a sophistication unusual in someone so young." - Twin Cities Onion

"Of all the diamonds in the rough that I've played here on the program, that's the first one that is already really starting to show the shine, even before she breaks out," - Adam Waltemire - WMEL Florida

"Sam Grimes was great. Cool sound. I MySpaced her immediately. Lots of potential. She plays right-handed guitars left-handed without restringing. Weird to watch." Legend local songwriter John Kerns

Alternative folk rocker Sam Grimes is the north metro's gift to the Twin Cities local music scene. Her vocal abilities and songwriting skill have been regarded as soulful, powerful, and brilliant. At the mere age of 21, Sam Grimes has graced the stages of First Avenue, the Fine Line, the famous Profile Center, and many other numerous venues and festivals - too many to list!

Air Museum has just teamed up with SWAPBEATS. COM to make a short film about the recording process using SwapBeats for Air Museum's debut single. Be sure to check out SwapBeats. com over the next couple of weeks to view the video and the process on SwapBeats' HOME page. A little something about SwapBeats: SwapBeats provides an online marketplace for musicians to buy, sell, and/or swap their individual music tracks, while collaborating and gaining inspiration through an online community. If you're a musician, you should know about SwapBeats.
