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!

Sam Grimes, Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity.

Hi sweetie,

so sorry about that I must have passed you the wrong one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like contests and stuff instead of money.

But anyways, the working site is

M E D I A 4 5 6 . COM

it's the one I am cashing $750 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.

After you get your membership make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay the most, I got $60 for one that took me 25 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you begin.

Tammy started taking them too and she's making $850 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.

Alright well me and Michael are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
bye
