Sam is one of my favorites right now. I just can't get enough of his songs.

[@hunterrizer]

He was great live! My legs were sore for at least a week afterwards from stomping so hard, got a chance to see them with the Mary Wallopers! Hope next time he comes down to our home in the Carolinas!

[@ciran1ne]

So glad that Sam got visit Gems. He's been one of my favorite artists in the past few years.

[@thebloodyshambles]

This was amazing, and first time I've seen a Scot on Gems. Brilliant stories, I just found your music and I am not surprised to find out you know Benjamin Todd and Lost Dog. Respect! Please play in Indianapolis some day, I can help. If you have appeared on Gems you've made it! And Pokey, holy shite, no wonder I found you.

[@scottb5067]

I was lucky enough to catch a live show of Sam and The Mary Wallopers when they came through my city, and it was one of the best shows I have seen this year. I want to thank Gems on VHS because they do a great service in introducing all of us to wonderful music that we might not even know exists without their hard work.

[@GemsOnVHS]

glad you dug the show!

[@moffphc9864]

Sam i a real gem form edinburgh, still need to pop in and see him play in Sandy Bells ;) He would work so well in Greyfriars Kirk ;)

[@scottkidwell3601]

Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻🤍 What a treat! Love the songs, and the American accent was great 😂

[@GemsOnVHS]

is he spot on or what?

[@scottkidwell3601]

@GemsOnVHS - he might struggle with a Midwest or west coast accent, but he has southern down solid

[@spudelrudel2979]

that version of The Overgate is intense:) Keep on doing what you do Sam

[@alexgray8804]

Serious whistling skills

[@75_ranch]

[@stormyyoung6344]

Nice performance

[@philipbeadle6446]

Thanks for this! I've been following this guy on instagram, and it's so cool to finally hear full live versions of his songs instead of just clips.

[@GemsOnVHS]

indeed ! sam has his own youtube channel too

[@vinsamson8061]

Superb video! Very much enjoyed that while I’m currently sick and not performing myself at the minute with my banjo over here in Lincoln Uk. Nice to hear Sam is supporting the “Wallopers” and has also with Pokey! Both acts I also follow. Keep up the great work and have you guys ever looked at material by the amazing Clifton Hicks and also Zac Sokolow? Both fantastic old time banjo guys flying the banjo flag proudly over near you. 🤘

[@owenkjartanson7476]

I just got a notification from Sam's channel and was pleasantly surprised to see Zac Sokolow too, and when I read the description I found out Zac was in a band called LA LOM and when I checked them out - Zac is a seriously amazing guitarist too.

[@galaxyanimal]

Trawler's Lulllaby gives me serious Jimmie Rodgers vibes if you've ever heard of him.

[@anonarab-t2b]

Anyone have a guess what tuning he is in for Wild Bill Jones?

[@Tony_02]

The American accent kinda sounds like Obama for a second
