Sam Thacker - Sky’s The Limit
Click the Play button to hear track
The Georgia Jukebox recently saw Sam Thacker promoting his album Above the Underneath, at Capital City Bar in Milledgeville Georgia. The Houston Texas native has shared the stage with, Collective Soul, Sister Hazel, Tonic, Gavin DeGraw, and Marc Broussard (this show was with Corey Smith, another Jukebox favorite), and despite the unusually sparse crowd, Thacker gave the audience a professional show that demonstrated why there’s a good chance you’ll hear him on your radio soon.
Sam Thacker’s Above The Underneath – A Triumph
From the album’s first track “Serenade”, an introspective power-pop number that will have you singing along (and it got airplay on a handful of stations), to the Jazz-infused “Oh Well” and the encouraging “Guide You Well”, Above The Underneath is a triumph for Thacker, and a good indication of what’s to come
Song Of The Week Promotion
“I’m having a good time with “Song of the Week”, said Thacker. “Basically I’ve committed to writing and recording at least one new song a week. Every Monday I’m posting one of the new tunes up on my MySpace page and folks can download it for free. If they choose, there is a “donate” button where they can make a contribution to the cause but this is neither necessary nor expected. Each song stays up for one week and is replaced by a new one the next Monday. Once a song has been posted it will not be posted again. The goal with this is for fans to reach out to one another if they miss a song they want. I really want to encourage sharing, burning, etc among folks who want to listen to and spread my music. “
We think this is a great idea, and hope you donate when you download. These songs could be a collector’s item one day, and they’re just good songs.
New Sam Thacker Album Out Soon
The so-far untitled CD should be finished this month. Sam’s excited: “The songs are the best I’ve ever written and I feel like we’re capturing some really special performances in the studio as well”
We can’t wait

He’s been “our little secret” here in Georgia for a while, but he won’t be for much longer. Anyone who is lucky enough to see Sam live is immediately Sam’s #1 fan. Even the big curly hair can’t hide his smile - the man has fun on stage, and this joy is infectious. Add in some solid songwriting, and you have a combo that can’t be beat.
Definitely check him out - and pick up a disc. Then request #6 for me!
Luckily, some of us “non-Georgia” folks have discovered him too. Here in Virginia, I have seen him live, met him in person, and enjoy listening to his CD. He’s a genuinely great guy, and I hope others will soon discover his music as well!
I’m in North Carolina and have saw him open twice for Corey Smith and both shows were amazing. The guy has great talent, a wonderful sense of humor, and will go very far!
There is no doubt in my mind that I’ll be hearing him on the radio within the next year. He is unbelievably amazing live. Kid’s got talent.
This guy is very talented and puts on one hell of a show, I saw him in Knoxville and really hope to get the chance to see him again soon. He seems very down to earth and has a great sense of humor on and off stage.Cant wait to see him make it big and hear him on the radio one day
