Bio: | Acknowledged for his "precise technique, interpretive vision, and impeccable musicianship" (Boston Globe), Sam Suggs cultivates a versatile career as a collaborative and creative bassist. Sam is one of Strad Magazine's "five up-and-coming bass players" and a winner of the International Society of Bassists and Concert Artists Guild solo competitions. As a performer-composer, he breaks boundaries with "brilliant and compelling programming" (The Strad) and bass playing that "quite simply boggles the mind" (Oregon Arts Watch). An alum of the Greater Buffalo Youth Orchestra, Northwestern University, and Yale School of Music, he lives in the Shenandoah Valley and serves on the faculties of the Yellow Barn Chamber Music Festival, BassWorks, Sewanee Music Center, and James Madison University. |
