Sam Phillips is a songwriter and a singer from Los Angeles, California. She was nominated for a Grammy award in 1994, but she did not win. In fact, she didn’t even make it to the ceremony because she had the wrong directions and ended up at a Ukrainian dance hall where they had a party and a red carpet, but no prizes. The Grammy folks kindly included her in last year’s festivities by sending her a certificate of participation in the album of the year for writing the song “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us” recorded by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. The certificate was kind of beat up by the postal service, but proved to be legitimate.

After 7 albums and 7 years of scoring the Gilmore Girls television show, Sam is beginning a year of music called Long Play. She has begun to write, record and release 5 EPs and 1 full-length album over the course of the next year while documenting the process through essays, video, audio, artwork, as well as any other certified reality-escaping techniques. Her records have been known to be brief in the past, so all this music in one year is odd. Odd or not, she invites you to join her for the Long Play through samphillips.com, your one stop shopping stop for only one thing-Sam music!
