About this Act

Sam Dawson is a professional vocalist and guitarist, providing live entertainment for weddings, functions, parties and more.

His musical style is acoustic covers of pop songs, from the 50s through to present day. Using just guitar, vocals, and the addition of some effects pedals, he is able to create a full sound - as though there are multiple musicians performing (without the huge setup and increased cost!)

Years of experience in the music industry has led him to play at some incredible venues and events, including Trinity Festival and Galtres Festival (among JP Cooper, Razorlight, The Stranglers, Maximo Park, and Reef). Having played everything from 'background music' coffee shops to huge festival stages, he is confident that he will be able to create the right atmosphere for your event.

His setlist contains hundreds of songs spanning several decades, from the 50s right up to modern day classics. If you have any special requests for songs/genres that you would like, he is more than happy to accommodate. Just let us know what kind of vibe you're after and he will tailor the set accordingly!
