Sam on Sunday is an ongoing series hosted by Time Sawyer’s Sam Tayloe that brings together diverse members of Charlotte’s music community in collaborative performances. The project started as a weekly livestream during the pandemic but has since grown and flourished in live events at some of Charlotte’s great music venues.
Sam on Sunday has become a way to reconnect with live music and with friends in an intimate setting. The show always shines a spotlight on songwriting, whether it’s freshly minted songs by local songwriters, or favorite covers. It’s a genre-busting experience where a rapper, a banjo player, a folk singer, a violinist and a blues guitarist might share the stage and create something completely new together. Sam on Sunday is a warm and welcoming celebration of Charlotte’s music scene.
The list of musical guests who have shared the stage, and shared songs, at these shows reads like a who’s who of Charlotte area music.
Through his full band vehicle, Time Sawyer, Sam Tayloe blends a grassroots feel with heart-felt lyrics. From introspective ballads to high-energy crowd-pleasers, Time Sawyer’s songs land in that rootsy sweet spot where folk, alt-country and rock gather for a good time.
