View From The Frontlines: White Denim/Sam Cohen kick out the jams at Neumos

March 29, 2016 / Greg Franklin

I've been pretty het up about the White Denim/Sam Cohen package tour since it was announced months ago. As far as complimentary match-ups, getting these two together for a tour is a mind-bogglingly great pairing of chops and songwriting skills. Sam Cohen (formerly of Apollo Sunshine and Yellowbirds, and also a guest of TRB podcast) released one of my favorite records of 2015 (Cool It), and handles mellow psychedelia and explosive sunshine-y pop territory with equal aplomb, gracefully warming up the mellow Monday crowd into a raucous (for Seattle) throng by the end of his spacious set.

Sam is well known for his work with Apollo Sunshine, Yellowbirds, and just released his first proper solo record (Cool It) earlier this year. Sam plays the Pickathon Festival in Portland, Oregon this weekend. Go have a listen.
