Bright Young Folk reviewed Sam’s set at Shrewsbury Folk Festival on the August Bank Holiday weekend:

We already know about Sam Carter’s dazzling finger-picking and articulate and insightful lyrics. The extra dimension of variety and texture provided by his soulful band gave his act an extra something special. He was moving on “Here in the Ground”, funny on “Lumpy’s Lullaby.” A surprise turn of electric blues was his reaction to Japan’s strife in “Waves & Tremors”. A festival highlight.
