SVW Original Song "MAMA TOLD ME" Review
Sam Van Wagoner is a singersongwriter from Detroit, MI. His sound traverses a wide spectrum of American roots music, from acoustic folk to hornfueled R&B. Beginning his career in LA, he has traveled across the country performing. His 2015 EP On Tap features some of Detroit’s finest musicians. “Mama Told Me” shows us Van Wagoner as bluesburning front man. This is pure, American R&B with sultry backup singers, blasting horns, fevered tambourine, and wahwah guitar. While he does find influence in dreamboat balladeers Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson, Van Wagoner presents a much grittier, soulful sound here. The guitar playing is exceptional, but the real magic comes from his vocal energy and ability to lead this wellorchestrated ensemble. - Erik Jarvis, Media Contact for MusicPage.com
