Sam shot out of the gate early as the drummer of the Nox Boys, a band formed in 2014 that quickly signed to Get Hip Records, recorded their debut album with Jim Diamond (of White Stripes and The Sonics fame), and began years of extensive touring across the US and Spain. With the Covid pandemic and bandmembers relocating, the Nox Boys went on hiatus allowing Sam to become on of Pittsburgh’s most sought out fill-in drummer. In addition to The Redlines, Sam mans the kit for Devin Mosed & the Saved and Little Gunpowder.
