If you love music that feels real, raw, and hits you right in the chest, you need to be at this show.

Sam Bartells is one of those rare artists who can hush a room with a lyric and have it roaring a minute later. Born in Auckland, was signed in Nashville, Sam’s sound blends old-school country grit with a fresh, modern edge, creating something truly his own.

His songs are stories – of heartbreak and redemption, struggle and hope – carried on soulful vocals and stripped-back honesty that make you feel every word. With multiple NZ Top 40 tracks, a Rock 2000 nod, and gigs from local bars to a 50,000-strong Bledisloe crowd, Sam has earned a loyal following the hard way: one song, one stage, one real connection at a time.

This is your chance to catch Sam up close and personal – the music, and a room full of people who get it. A voice that aches, lyrics that heal. This will be a duo gig with violin or keys.
