Samuel Winder crafts songs that saunter delicately between cosy and arresting. With piercingly sincere lyrics at the helm, the Newcastle local tumbled onto the scene last year with his gentle folk EP ‘Fragments’. After a string of sold out shows, Winder followed up with the crunchy folk-rock single ‘Steady Hand’, a beautifully tangled ride that speaks to shouldering too much for your own good. 

Winder has quickly garnered avid listeners at home and abroad, with his rich, raw vocals deftly treading the crossroads of folk, indie-rock and country.

Now, a year in, there seems to be no signs of slowing down. Back in the studio recording a yet to be announced project, Winder carries an unyielding commitment to penning music as searingly candid as it is soothing, catchy and cathartic. Whatever comes next, there’s a simmering feeling here that he is on the cusp of something truly special.
