Sam Owens is a New York-based singer-songwriter, musician and producer who records under the moniker Sam Evian.

His sophomore album, “You, Forever”, was just released in June.  Recorded in a small house in the woods in Woodstock, New York, the album was inspired by a life-altering road trip across America.

We sat down with Sam Evian to talk about how finding various multi-track recordings of classic Motown albums helped change his approach to production, how his jazz musician parents influenced his early music taste, and his dream of writing and recording a song with Ringo Starr.

Featuring: Sam Evian, Elliott Smith, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Pat Metheny, Steely Dan, Blink-182, Cake, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Marvin Gaye, Queen, John Cale, Kim Jung Mi, Conor Oberst, Adrianne Lenker, and Here We Go Magic.
