Sam Palladio
Musician and actor Sam Palladio will be touring the UK in September.
Sam said: “I’m so excited to be playing my first ever UK headlining tour. It’s the start of a new chapter for me as I release my debut album The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light. The album is the culmination of years of hard work and to finally be able to take it on the road and share my story is both thrilling and cathartic.
“I’ve been fortunate to tour heavily in the UK with the cast of Nashville but to bring this album to life in these awesome, intimate venues takes me back to the thrill of playing rock clubs as a teenager, feeling the energy and really bringing people together. Ultimately I want to get to know my audience and I want them to get to know me, more than just as an actor on a TV show.”
