About Sam Burchfield & The Scoundrels:

Listen | Watch Video

Sam Burchfield was raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina, where he learned to play and learned to write. His youth was steeped in the mossy creeks and deep ravines of those ancient woods, and they imbued him with the gift of song. Now in his thirties, Burchfield raises a small family in the North Georgia mountains and continues to find inspiration in the rivers and ridges of Southern Appalachia.

His latest album ‘Me & My Religion’ was produced with his touring band, The Scoundrels. It is the first collaboration for the group after years of paying dues to the highway. Colin Agnew (drums), Trygve Myers (bass), and Ryan Plumley (guitar) accompanied Burchfield to Muscle Shoals, Alabama along with Nashville producer, Rachael Moore, to record the album of 7 days.

“It’s certainly the most upbeat record I’ve ever released,” reflects Burchfield. “We crafted many of the songs together on countless stages, and most were then tracked live in the studio, which just felt right.”

This 10 track album is almost equal parts Americana, psychedelia, indie folk, and Southern rock. All these flavors combine to support the album’s main theme. As seasoned listeners will expect, Burchfield’s lyrics are far from on the nose, as the declarative title would suggest. 'Me & My Religion' is an exploration of mankind’s toil for meaning in a world of vapid consumerism and commercialism - one in which we have become deaf to our own harmony with nature. Despite the weight of these ideas, the album feels like a lighthearted sojourn through the backwoods of our imagination.

Five people, five towns, and a few hundred miles in between…none of this should have ever worked. Still, fate has a funny way of bending the rules.  CLIFFS represents a leap of faith.  A departure from the safety of the wheel they all found themselves stuck spinning in.  Like yarn-linked thumbtacks on an evidence board, there was something undeniably connective from the first time.  With passion at the forefront, their music floats atop the pool of category.  It is abstract, but familiar.  It is wherever you want to go.  It is echoes of old, and a glimpse of new, an homage to the sounds that raised them.  The modern five-piece Rowan Stewart-drums, Stephen Kovach-guitar, Chris McConnell-vocals, Steve Pierce-bass, and Seth Jenkins-guitar, walk you back to a time when you had to adjust the volume on the radio.  A live show that resonates as honest experience, meant to drink like rainwater, and feed your imagination with lyrics of absurdity, universality, and themes of being human.  Determined to leave an impression on whoever is willing to listen CLIFFS brings you their first single “Imagine You”
