About
Sam Foster Smith is an indie-rock artist from Somerset UK. Now based in London, his music stays true to his roots in the South West, blending an easy listening coastline vibe with a penchant for festival-ready anthems.
Sam released his debut single ‘Hotel Room’ at the start of 2025 and quickly established himself, selling out The Water Rats on his debut show before heading out to support The K’s at their sold out Studio 24 show, The Lilacs and The Assist. Able to comfortably step up to bigger stages, he has swiftly earned himself a reputation as an electric live act and has been selected to play major UK festivals in a little over 12 months as an artist.
His subsequent singles quickly racked up 200K+ streams in 2025 and landed feature spots on the likes of BBC Introducing (tracks of the week), Amazing Radio (UK and USA), GigSlutz and Future Hits Radio, as well as garnering support from local and national news outlets. Sam was recently invited to Gibson Guitar HQ to play for one of their socials.
For fans of Sam Fender, The War On Drugs, The K’s, Gang of Youths and The Sherlocks, Sam’s sound has been developed over years on the circuit as a session guitarist and leans into the crowd-igniting melodies and euphoric sing-along sections that he learned from the best, playing on stages at the likes of The Isle of Wight Festival, Ynot Festival and Victorious Festival.
