Sampel, Theo
Sampel This
Perfecting his craft for more than a decade, Theos hypnotizing voice and mastery of the guitar harkens back to the sound of George Thorogood. Theos lifelong musical journey started in St. Louis giving him a "bluesy" foundation that can be heard throughout his songs today. As a longtime resident of the DMV, his blues and rock tone is mature and gives him a unique and resonate edge. Some fans liken Theos vocals to the haunted charm found in Thom Yorke of Radiohead, but with a touch of David Bowies deep, pained, voice. The album is particularly refreshing to hear today, as many artists have steered away from the tortured, yet soothing sound that Sampel This embodies. Other big name musicians such as Marc Capponi (Piano/Keys), Dajando Smith (Bass Guitar), and Tom Barrick (Percussion) are on the album
