Sam Gieryn lived his first 50 years in Wisconsin and grew up following his big brother’s lead into big band jazz and rock and roll. Eventually Sam settled into the community band scene as an older adult.
Upon arriving in Portland in 2011, Sam discovered karaoke and the fact that he could sing. The doors flew open and soon Sam was singing lead vocals and busting out trombone solos in his own rock and roll cover band, Rex Luther.
Sam says while trying out with the Kats he reexperienced the joy of playing in unison with a top notch horn line and he knew he was hooked.
