The Country Side of Harmonica Sam represents a rare and unique branch of contemporary country music. This is country music like it sounded in the late 50s and early 60s; more modern sounding than the 40s Hillbilly style. At the same time, it’s far from the contemporary Nashville sound of country music. The band consists of Peter Andersson (pedal steel), Ulrik Jansson (upright bass), Robert Skoglund (drums), Johan Bandling Melin (lead guitar/harmony vocals) and Harmonica Sam (lead vocals/rhythm guitar).
In 2013 the band released a 7” single, "Changing Her Thinking," which created a buzz among country music and rockabilly fans. In 2015 the band went to Berlin and Lightning Recorders to record their debut album "Open Letter to the Blues." For their second album, "A Drink After Midnight," they chose to record at the local Gula Studion in Malmö, Sweden. The release of the first single from "A Drink After Midnight" in 2016 became a major dance floor hit on the retro scene across Europe, with the B-side "Lookout Heart." Their third album, "Broken Bottle, Broken Heart," debuted in 2019, featuring the single "My First Broken Heart (Since My Last Broken Heart)/If That’s the Way It’s Gotta Be." The latest single "Tell Her/This Train" was released on September 1, 2023, and the album "Back to the Blue Side" on September 29, 2023.
The band achieved notable recognition by winning the "Honky Tonk Group" category at the Ameripolitan Music Awards 2020 in Memphis, Tennessee.
