biography

In 1993, while still a member of Propagandhi, Samson released his first solo album on cassette entitled Slips and Tangles . In 1995, six of these songs were featured on the split album Little Pictures .

On November 6, 2009 City Road 85 was released, which is the first release of a vinyl single series. With Provincial Road 222 , the second vinyl single in Europe was released on September 17, 2010 by the Hamburg label Grand Hotel van Cleef .

On January 27, 2012 his first full album Provincial in Europe was also released by Grand Hotel van Cleef. On the occasion of his second solo album Winter Wheat (2016), the FAZ reviewer attested that his often "black gall" song lyrics would easily have high literary qualities.
