Archive material and source history
Sam Shelton came up in Bakersfield, California, listening to Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan records. His debut album 'In the Shadow of the Sun' arrived in 2013, and the single 'Break Into Me' got some attention for its direct, unguarded feel.
He's written other songs like 'Shoot Me Now' and 'Cranky Moon' that follow a similar thread, plainspoken, a little weary, grounded in ordinary details rather than grand statements. The writing sometimes gets compared to Conor Oberst or Damien Rice, which makes sense given the preference for intimacy over production.
In 2015 there was some noise about songwriting credits on 'Break Into Me,' though nothing came of it. Shelton has also talked openly about dealing with depression, which lines up with the tone of his music. He doesn't seem interested in anthems so much as small, honest moments.
