I am a solo guitarist specializing in flamenco, classical, brazilian and popular styles. I am a graduate of the USC School of Music and The Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. I have performed at hundreds of weddings and events in the Santa Barbara area. I perform regularly at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara where I have been the featured guitarist since 2000. While I perform mainly as a soloist, I can also put together a duo or trio upon request.

Review by Stuart W.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 14, 2026•From Carpinteria, CA

Sam played Brazilian acoustic guitar during a private dinner party for 12 65 year old women. His music was beautiful and played at a perfect volume. Sam was delightful and 100% easy on the eyes. These women thought they’d died and gone to heaven . My only regret was that he didn’t play longer .

Sam Adams:

I enjoyed playing and meeting everyone. Hope to play for those lovely women again soon!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on September 7, 2025•From Santa Barbara, CA

Sam did a wonderful job playing at our son's wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome reception. He communicated promptly, arrived in plenty of time to get set up, played a variety of music selections for our crowd, and adapted to changes in the guests' ages throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Sam!

Sam Adams:

Thanks for your thoughtful review and thanks for having me, Sam
