Sam Friend’s in a world of his own — a ghost poet with lyrical wiles, undying melodies, meandering wordplays, and shaggy dreams. His songs appear like keen jewels in the dust, and enter your consciousness filled with juicy ambiguity, though fine-tuned enough to remain there and unleash all manners of firepower imagery in your mind’s eye.

Presently based in Brooklyn, Friend is now playing the city circuit and recording his third effort, Spirit Mirror, reflecting the singer-songwriter’s peripatetic nature in finding new places, collaborators, muses, sensibilities, inspiration, and friends when producing a new album. He says this one will take on the notion of duality and capture the essence of a live show — another step forward for one of the most promising young singer-songwriters to emerge from Miami.
