The Best Band You've Never Heard: The Story of The Samples
Boulder, Colorado has produced many great artists, perhaps none more enigmatic than The Samples: a band that seemed headed for its place in the national pop consciousness. Instead, they watched as peers like the Dave Matthews Band and Blues Traveler achieved this success while never reaching beyond the cusp of stardom themselves. The Samples managed to create a sound all of their own with influences of reggae, folk and rock. Led by steadfast songwriter Sean Kelly, the band continued on despite member break ups and record company divorces only through the unwavering support of their passionate fan base. The Best Band YouÂ’ve Never Heard follows the band from its humble origins in Vermont and Boulder up through the original membersÂ’ nostalgic reunion at the 2010 Mile High Music Festival in Denver.
