Join 2021 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition Grand Prize Winner and former contestant on "The Voice" Sam Robbins as he makes his first-ever appearance at Lulu's Downstairs, trading songs with 2020 & 2022 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition Finalist Jeremy Facknitz!

Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic singer songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive touring and as one of the six 2021 winners of the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition, one of the largest and most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country. Sam released his second album "Bigger Than in Between" to critical acclaim on August 5th, 2022.

Manitou Springs-based singer-songwriter Jeremy Facknitz sold out Lulu's Downstairs (Upstairs) back on March 25th as he and his band released his 6th album, "Smilin' At The Future." Americana Highways called it "...far above the ordinary. The 6-member band are the chefs in a musical kitchen – each recipe conjured tastefully... A good time is guaranteed for all."

Both songwriters will be trading songs in the upstairs venue.
