Sean Kelly of the Samples

Thirty-four years after starting his full-fledged music career with The Samples, SEAN KELLY continues to delight fans with music that transcends genres, age, and shatters the rules of the established music industry. Throughout his career, Sean has been the driving influence of 20 albums and more than 1 million records sold.

Sean started playing guitar at age 16 listening to Neil Young, Rolling Stones, and Jackson Browne. Those influences mixed with his own poignant and timeless lyrics, a unique and striking voice, and a mind for melodies led to songs like “Little Silver Ring,” “Feel Us Shaking,” and “Wild River.” For many fans, these aren’t new songs or old songs, but anthems to their lives that represent the first time they met their wife or the joys of their times at college.

The Samples are more than a band; they represent a culture of fans and music that goes beyond who happens to be playing in the band at any given time. There have been many members of The Samples, but Sean Kelly has been the consistent factor throughout all of the changes.

Sean’s journeys across America have taken place in rental cars, tour buses, and pickup trucks that would have literally taken him to the moon and back over the last quarter of a century. There is a lot of music in store from Sean Kelly and The Samples.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the Cocktail Lounge. The Concert Hall opens at 8 p.m., with music starting by 9 p.m. RICK GERBER to open.
