Slide guitar gospel-blues with grit and groove to make you shout it out

Bio: Sam Turton was born and raised in St. Catharines. For over 40 years, he has been playing slide guitar and hammering out personal and political songs with blues edge and gospel fervour. Sam's recordings and performances have targeted the Bush empire, Wal-Mart, nuclear power and the war in Afghanistan. Sam's songs can be heard on his solo CD feel, and on the compilation CDs Not There, Afghanistan-On Guard For Thee? and Guelph Speaks, Vol II. Based in Guelph, Ontario, Sam is also a graphic artist, mentor/therapist, and community activist whose passion is connecting people in song.
