The Originals - Sam-r with the Greatest Band in the Land

Sam-r kicks off his monthly residency at the Tranzac with Originals, a night dedicated entirely to his own music. A Toronto-based Hip-Hop/Blues artist of Lebanese-Syrian heritage, Sam-r raps while playing live drums, telling honest stories of resilience, culture, and community. This first night is the foundation: his original songs, played the way they were written. From here, each month of the residency takes these songs somewhere new, reworking them through different styles and sounds. Come hear where it all starts before the experimenting begins.
