Summary: Sam Suggs calls himself an omnivorous musician. I love this tagline. I feel like I’m eating at a fantastic fusion restaurant when I hear Sam’s music.  I'm not expecting these flavors to work, but they are so good together. First, he takes a little 1750s galant style. Next, he adds a dash of Verdi. He finally tops it off with—I kid you not—Skrillex and Daft Punk. Then he marches over to a bar and gives it a battle test in front of the patrons.
