<p>Have you seen this man? Suitcase Sam delivers a mysterious and quirky new video for his single ‘Edge of Town’ off his debut album Goodnight Riverdale Park. Inspired by a muppet-themed detective show, many acts appear to be impersonating the wanted man, leaving his identity concealed and in tact. </p>
<p>Suitcase Sam has been making waves across the UK, adding stellar reviews of his debut album into his suitcase. He continues the hype with projects like this, making it impossible not to wonder where he might end up next. The Toronto-hailing man has no fixed address and will continue on the road for now as a self-proclaimed ramblin’, scramblin’, song and dance man.</p>Suitcase Samtag:suitcasesam.net,2005:Post/66374432021-05-22T12:03:42-04:002023-12-10T13:48:24-05:00PETE FEENSTRA INTERVIEWS SUITCASE SAM<p>Suitcase Sam sat down with Pete Feenstra for GRTR, where they discussed everything from railroads to songwriting. <a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/grtr/the-pete-feenstra-feature-suitcase-sam-9-may-2021/"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/57316/27939f78a3a9e5349ca147bc8ccbb7c69fbc4be7/original/petefeenstra-show.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_left border_" /></a></p>Suitcase Samtag:suitcasesam.net,2005:Post/63003172020-04-30T16:57:04-04:002023-12-10T13:01:47-05:00TWO DAY SALE<p>Times are tough right now so we're having a sale.
