Sam Bergquist
Americana roots with grit, whimsy, and a sound all its own
Sam Bergquist is a Boston-based songwriter playing in that rootsy folk/Americana lane—acoustic guitar, strong melodies, and songs that feel lived-in. His latest album Devils & Doves recently cracked the Top 10 on the Alt-Country charts. As WBUR’s Noah Schaffer put it, “Sam Bergquist has a take on roots music that wonderfully balances grit and whimsy.”
