Sam from Sam Richardson and the Renegades is an up and coming Singer/Songwriter from Cornwall. Sam’s writing is reminiscent of the days when imagery and stories played a key role in the songwriting process. An Americana and roots rock style, influenced by artists such as Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer.

Back in 2013 Sam and his first band, (Gypsy’s Anchor) won a national songwriting competition for Amnesty International. They played the song at Amnesty’s headquarters in London and were
offered the chance to record with music producer – Steve Brown (Elton John, Freddie Mercury).

Sam was interviewed by BBC Radio 1, and the winning song ‘Full Score’ was released on iTunes. The track and interview were aired on BBC Radio 1 during the documentary ‘Make Some Noise’.
A year later, Sam (now a solo artist) was personally invited to present the award to the 2014 winner alongside Jerry Dammers (The Specials).

In 2015 Sam was asked by Amnesty International to perform as a solo artist at their National AGM in Coventry. Sam performed to a theatre of over 500 people and was so well received, he was immediately invited by a senior director to perform at a private Amnesty celebration, at their headquarters in London.
Sam was one of only 3 musical performers that night, and played alongside Garry Lightbody (lead singer of Snow Patrol) and Jo Harman ( British Blues Award – Best Female Singer) to an exclusive audience of: Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons, Snow Patrol, The Kaiser Chiefs, Bianca Jagger and Charlotte Church (among many others).
Sam later opened for Jo Harman during her national theatre tour in 2015 (Jo was supported by James Bay in 2011) and opened The View stage at Boardmasters Festival 2016.

He continues to play nationally, has featured multiple times on BBC Radio Cornwall’s David White Show and has recently finished recording a new song for Amnesty International entitled ‘Freedom Speaks My Name’. Graham Jones (Haircut 100) has helped guide Sam’s early path and Malcolm Joseph (Grace Jones) has been
kind enough to add bass guitar on various parts of Sam’s early work.
In March 2017, Sam played at the legendary Water Rats venue where Bob Dylan first performed on British soil in 1962, and released his debut 6 track EP Atlantic Highway in April 2017. ‘Don’t Need Him’ has since featured on BBC Radio London multiple
times. Upon the release of Atlantic Highway, Sam formed a backing band ‘Sam Richardson and The Renegades’ and played a variety of festivals and events with them through the rest of 2017.
Sam had the opportunity to support Slowdive’s Neil Halstead in April 2017 and supported Newton Faulkner on a very successful 4 date run through August 2017.
