Inspired by The Rolling Stones at age 15 I set my guitar to the bridge pickup, a lightly overdriven amp tone, and a Keith Richards style tuning. I fell in love with the sound and wrote my first real rock song ‘The Storm’. – Sam Fletcher
The Storm is a classic rock track featuring a rolling and grooving rhythm section, singing guitar solos and energetic vocals.
Instrumentally, this song is the sound of teamwork and collaboration. Brothers Sam and Galen Fletcher’s rhythm and lead guitars align and contrast throughout, Lucius Thangathurai’s fire drum work evolved from Kellen Lenehan’s distinctive beat, and Russell Fletcher holds the fort with his solid basslines. Throughout this jam, Sam’s punchy vocals bring to life the tale of this dark art form.
The Storm is Sam Fletcher’s most recent release. This modern take on classic rock is one to listen to!

Indie folk and alternative rock performed with passion and integrity are the signature sounds of young singer/songwriter Sam Fletcher. Influenced by the acoustic greats of the ’60s and ’70s, and the folk songs of old, Sam’s acoustic music features skilful acoustic guitar and smooth vocals. On the other hand, his Rolling Stones inspired rock is characterised by singing guitar riffs and charismatic solos, infused with Sam’s distinctive and fresh ‘surf’ vibe. It is this blend of roots and vibrant, youthful optimism that leads Sam’s approach and produces his rare and magnetising performance style.
Sam Fletcher released his debut EP ‘Summer’s Here’ alongside a video clip showcasing this beautiful home region on the South Coast of NSW in 2021. His new single ‘The Storm’ is the first track to be released from his upcoming sophomore EP.
