    About The Samples

    The Samples are a Boulder, Colorado–formed rock band that began in the late 1980s, built around the songwriting and vocals of Sean Kelly alongside a lineup that originally included Charles Hambleton, Andy Sheldon, Jeep MacNichol, and Al Laughlin. Their sound draws on pop-rock with a persistent reggae pulse, often marked by interlocking guitars and communal harmonies. In performance, the band tends to favor groove and ensemble interplay over spectacle. In New York City, they appear at City Winery NYC for a live set of their pop/rock catalog.
