Sam Bradley - Hot in the City

COVINGTON, KY – May 10. Sam Bradley is a talented musician who writes, sings and performs honestly and passionately about the things that have left an imprint on his life. For the interview, we stood in the alley behind the historic Southgate House, where he and his band would perform later in the evening.

“Getting to perform with the whole band again, the energy is so much more and the company – They are some of my best friends,” Bradley said about The Sam Bradley Band that backs him up. “We are doing lots of new sounds, lots of new songs. We are going back to record after this tour. The thing is that we are trying to do is not have a specific sound I think, to cross as many genres as possible, without doing, say, a Rihanna song.”

November was Bradley’s last United States tour, where he performed songs from his latest EP, Zuni, along with his guitarist, John Notto. Bradley talked about his favorite selections from the EP, which gets its name from a town in New Mexico he felt connected to when he visited there last summer.
