Lead singer/guitarist & songwriter for the fabled touring band "The Samples" graces the small Pancake stage during Jazzfest to help hype Burlington's Jazzfest one notch higher.
From the Samples website:
"Perhaps it's because he's always looking forward, but, when asked to sit back for a moment and sum up the sound of the Samples, Kelly admits that, frankly, he's probably the last person to whom you'd want to pose that question. "You'd really have to ask a fan," he says. "I honestly can't tell you what the Samples' sound is. I can tell you what it's not, though. It's not cheap. It's not synthetic. And it's definitely not lacking in soul or spirit or passion.
"We move so quickly that I hardly even have a chance to listen to our stuff, but once in awhile, when we're on a break, I stop and look back and go, 'Man! That's a lot of touring and a lot of albums...a lot of sacrifices, a lot of responsibility, and a lot of accountability.' It's rarely that I actually get to sit down and really listen to figure out what it is that we're doing. I just know that it's rooted always from the same place: integrity."
