Sam Morrow With David Quinn Live at Docie’s Dock Fort Walton Beach, FL

Sam Morrow

Touring the world will widen your perspective. Morrow still shines a light on his own experience with Gettin by gettin down; , whose songs spin true-life stories of new relationships, old flames, the battle to remain upbeat during downtrodden times, and the lingering temptation of the vices that once clouded his vision. He switches to a wider lens on several songs, though, penning lyrics about a modern world obsessed with Instagram filters and virtual interactions. i’m taking my own flaws, and flaws we have socially, and poking fun of them a bit,he explains. I’ve been known to have songs that are really serious and grim, but thats not exactly who I am. I’ve just always had an aversion to doing what everyone else is doing. Its this punk-rock attitude, where if you tell me I’m supposed to do something specific, I’m gonna do something else. Maybe thats a character defect…but it is what it is. Its no character defect. With Gettin By on Gettin Down, Sam Morrow reminds us that the things that set him apart are the very same things that help him stand out.

David Quinn

David Quinn’s third album was born from a logo on a decades-old ashtray he found in a corner nook at Nashville’s Sound Emporium while tracking his previous record. The amber glass piece had seen better days, but it was the words “Country Fresh” imprinted on the side in its vintage font that grabbed Quinn’s attention. “I never stopped thinking about it and started using the phrase ‘country fresh’ to describe how I was living and all the things that I like. It just stuck with me and once I wrote the song ‘Country Fresh’ it ended up being the whole theme of the record.”
