Sam's supporters include Katy Perry who saw a show and likened him to Jeff Buckley and Paul Simon, James Morrison who he has toured with twice, Danny O' Donahue from The Script, Ed Sheeran who supported Sam on his 2012 tour, Huw Stephens with whom Sam did an old vinyl factory session seminar, Jake Bugg who has been to several shows, Caggie Dunlop and Amber Atherton (Made In Chelsea). Sam has also featured in the Top 5 most viewed Burberry Acoustic Sessions along with Marika Hackman, Keane and Misty Miller. In 2013 Sam was re-united with co-producer of his debut album Chris Bucknell and they began working on sessions for what was to become the new album 'In The Yard'. Talking about the album Sam says, "I'm very pleased to announce that the new record is finally finished! It's called 'In The Yard' and will be released in March 2015. Having been inspired by my work on the record club season's one and two, I felt I wanted to put together an album in a more conventional sense.
