The Sam Anderson Band is an original rock and roll band based in Portland, ME. The band has crafted original songs which are relevant for today’s culture, yet are melodically evocative of the classic pop-rock songs of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Their live sets also include great tunes by artists such as The Beatles, The Who, and The Rolling Stones. It's a winning combination of great originals and great classics.
One of the best rhythm sections in Maine playing rock oriented blues, traditional blues and ancients like Pink Floyd, Clapton, Little Feat and Steely Dan. Our band has been together for 8 years. We come from different walks of life but share a love for the same kind of music. Most of us have been playing Blues and Rock a good portion of our lives.
The Portland Press Herald lists Gunther Brown as one of the ‘ten bands to watch’ in 2010. In doing so, Bob Keyes says …
“Gunther Brown’s music is earthy, eloquent and entirely honest. The band from Portland reminds one of early Jayhawks, with maybe a touch of Wilco. It’s Americana music, with roots that spread to folk, rock and old-time country.” www.guntherbrown.com
The prestige that accompanies the title Maine’s Best Singer/Songwriter (as won in the 2007 Maine Songwriter Showdown) is not lost on its holder Will Gattis, a Portland-native singer/songwriter whose influences range from The Beatles, The Who, and Queen to Ben Folds Five, Nobuo Uematsu, and David Bowie. Describing his translation of those influences into his own songwriting and performing style, Gattis quips that what fans hear is “the hypothetical result of Ben Folds sitting next to Freddie Mercury in a philosophy class taught by Paul McCartney."
