Sammy Volkov 

Often compared to legends like Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich, Sammy Volkov’s 2022 debut album Be Alright! firmly established him as an artist on the rise, hitting the #1 spot on the prestigious CKUA Top 30. This 1960s pop/contemporary indie rock/dreamy chamber folk-loving artist’s album, The Day Had To Come topped Bandcamp’s Best Country Music of 2024 list. His upcoming Songs From the Goodbye Garden features string arrangements from two-time Grammy-nominee Drew Jurecka. He toured festivals like the Calgary and Edmonton Folk Music Festivals and has shared stages with the likes of Frazey Ford, Boy Golden and Mariel Buckley. This singer-songwriter is not one to miss and has “...vocals that emanate…an air of melancholy. … A dash of Chris Isaak and a pinch of gospel-era Elvis Presley are the knee-jerk comparisons, as Volkov sings like a man out of time.” (The Edmonton Journal).
