Sam Polley and The Old Tomorrows at Red Bird

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Being the youngest member of a musical family, Sam Polley grew up in the music industry, but took his own time to join the family business. Forming Sam Polley and The Old Tomorrows in downtown Toronto in 2017, Sam Polley surrounded himself with local musicians that he knew had similar musical interests, recruiting brothers Tally and Gianni Ferraro (bass and drums), and guitar player extraordinaire, Fraser Melvin. The band quickly meshed and played their first show to a sold-out Cameron House Crowd. At the beginning of 2018, the band headed to the studio to record their first EP, which they recorded in one long day at Pacha Sound Studio in Toronto (leading to the name, EP in a Day). With the new EP in hand, Sam Polley embarked on a cross country tour as a featured artist on the Jim Cuddy Band Constellation tour. Once back, Sam Polley and The Old Tomorrows continued to tour the EP through the rest of the year, and into 2019, playing both festivals and cities throughout Ontario. Building off the success of their EP, Sam Polley and The Old Tomorrows then headed back to the studio to finish their debut album, ‘Time Forgot’, this time at the famous Woodshed Studio. Drawing their sound from 50’s and 60’s rockabilly licks, old country twang, and Motown swing, blending genres to create an upbeat boogie with groovy hooks, an album that’s sure to get you up and dancing. Having decided to tap into their desire for the golden era, Sam Polley and The Old Tomorrows released a 45 vinyl, with ‘Another Love’ as the a-side, and ‘Wasted Love’ as the b-side. Now the band is back on the road, touring coast to coast, and as always, getting people up and dancing.
