What people are saying
Sam Newton’s music has a way of putting you at ease while also making you look deeper within yourself. It’s brave as much as it is vulnerable.
Roots N’ All – Triple J
It is that ability to construct complex underlying patterns in his songs which is his real strength. A wonderful intensity in his arrangements and delivery.
The Sydney Morning Herald
Somehow you manage to find the perfect mix of light and dark, fear and hope, vulnerability and strength, pain and sweet relief.
