Sam Varga is a Nashville songwriter born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.

With just two short years in Nashville, Sam has already established himself as serious writer and dynamic performer. Coming up in the fast paced punk scenes of his high school days and the Blues of Austin TX, there is an edge and energy that makes his songs stand out in Music City. After quickly coming up through the writing ranks, he first turned his attention to his artist career with his debut single “Sex & Whiskey”. His follow up single “Mayday” was met with great acclaim and the promise of his debut EP “Light Me Up”. Sam’s sound and writing style is self described as “someone like Jackson Browne who grew up listening to a lot of punk”.

His debut EP “Light Me Up” is the product of two blurry years of living and songwriting in Nashville. The album is a combustion of rock dynamics, Nashville song craft, and emo one-liners . A self-deprecating wit flows through the entire album as Sam addresses bouts of depression, failed relationships, and the beauty and truth in between. Read more on Last.fm.
