"Sam Kuusisto is a unique find in a city saturated with talented singers. Taking the stage, this well-dressed, polite, handsome young man belies what will happen next. Be prepared for scorching vocals, and absolutely the most soulful singing you will ever hear!

Kuusisto is constantly at work, wearing out crowds all over the midwest and its small wonder that he stays in demand. For one, his scalding vocal is backed by a full force band, including some horns and some nasty, chicken-scratched guitar.
