Sound, and the feeling of sound, have always been at the center of Brad Sample’s mind. Growing up in Ricky Skaggs’ studio, hearing players that would become his heroes like Marty Stuart, Ry Cooder, Kenny Vaughan, & Ricky himself, he began to identify emotions that accompanied chords and filled the spaces between notes. It was in his early 20s that he, while fronting the rock band Run With Bulls, opened for legends like Joan Jett and Widespread Panic & began to witness the sounds he created have an emotional effect on other people too. Later, he became a lead/session guitarist & band leader for other artists in Nashville on every side of genre divides- Alice Cooper, Maggie Rose, Randy Houser & others. His 2019 debut album “Rhinestones and Broken Bones” began to establish his own sound, & released to critical praise, Americana & alternative radio play & Spotify playlists such as "New Music Nashville" and "Fresh Finds Country"
In the fall of 2019, Brad spent a week alone in a cabin in the desert mountains outside San Diego with no phone, no internet & no electricity. Sitting in silence for a week, he began to identify an emotional soundscape he hadn't heard before & he filled the silence with the first of songs that would become his sophomore full length album “Ghosts of a Love”. Low moaning guitars like echoes through a vast emptiness, drums that snap and flash like a meteor shower, & bass that punches like thunder. The sounds are all there, & Brad hopes they make you feel.
