New song “The Beauty That Tastes of Ash” is primarily set in an isolated cabin where our protagonist’s survival appears to be precarious, though we do take a detour into the desert for a bit of ghoulishly tinged noir.

It’s part of this Saturday’s #Americana Gothic set at Bazaar Cafe.

More on the songs of the set for the upcoming “Americana Gothic” themed show at Bazaar Cafe —

The frontier and the border has long been a part of the American mythology and psyche what with Daniel Boone and Manifest Destiny and all that jazz.

The opening lines to the final chapter of my latest EP — a song called "Half My Age" — though the math involved isn't quite right these days.

My EP "Nashville Recordings, Vol. 3: Travelogues" comes out this Friday.

Owing to the accordion and the trumpets, this release has a bit of #TexMex flair in the overall #Americana / #progrock stew.

Added a few new tracks to the Dark Folk and Americana playlist including one from Linda Ronstadt and a lovely acoustic cover of a Radio Head song (no, not Creep).

Also, up to 19 followers, which is pretty good.

My latest track is an alt-rock road trip through Baja California — giving you a view of the natural beauty, the local color, the touristy stuff, and the oddities.

Give it a spin 😉

Sam Hirst is a #SanFrancisco based #singersongwriter who blends folk, rock, and jazz into his songs. He weaves the beautiful with the ugly, the dissonant with the melodic, the off-kilter w/ the strangely familiar.

Catch him at Bazaar Cafe this Saturday...
