Sam Luna is one of those specials artists whose passion, excitement and love is contagious. He sings – with a huge boyish grin on his face – and you can’t help but feel…happy. His message is of love, beauty, and all things that bring people together.
Interestingly enough, Luna almost didn’t have the courage to sing. Having started writing poetry before songs, he says “…[I] finally decided to pick up the guitar and turn my words into song. I was always scared and thought I could never be as good as the musicians that I listened to every day. I realized that was the thing that holds all of us back. So in an effort to encourage others to believe in themselves, I began to believe in myself. I played my first show three days after picking up the guitar and I haven’t stopped since. ” Thank goodness he did.
The first pre-release off of his upcoming debut album is a song called “Tide Caught Fire.” It’s an upbeat, heart-thumping song that screams for a campfire sing-a-long, which he re-enacts at his live shows:
Luna says, “The song was written about one of the most beautiful nights with a full moon shining over stone steps in Solana Beach shared with some beautiful friends and so much more. It takes me back everytime I play it and its a great song to hear everyone sing along.”
Luna has recently started a Kickstarter campaign to help support the recording and release of his debut album.
