About Sam Shackleton

Widely known for his viral videos and songs such as The Lone Prairie, The Overgate, and Rocky Road to Dublin, Sam Shackleton has developed a large touring fanbase across the UK and USA. He has become well known for his unique, rowdy, and exciting performance style, from his strong Scottish traditional ballad singing brogue reminiscent of the likes of Luke Kelly, to his masterful interpretations of traditional folk music from Scotland, Ireland, and the USA, which he blends with punk elements alongside his own original songs and deep introspective lyrics.

Whether moving the audience to tears with an old folk ballad such as The Butcher Boy, or rousing the whole room to sing and dance to his rhythmic clawhammer banjo and whooping harmonica, the Scottish troubadour has been making a name for himself on the global folk scene by consistently selling out headline shows across the UK and the USA.
