SAMMY EUBANKS

The Voice Of The Northwest

2019 - 35th International Blues Challenge - 2nd Place Band

Sammy was born and raised in California until the age of 15 when he moved to Priest River, Idaho.

 

He always had a deep love for music, especially the blues. His early influences were his father Jessie James Eubanks,

BB King, Ray Charles, Steppenwolf and Eric Clapton to name a few.

​

Sammy has won the "Best Male Vocalist" award 12 times in the state of Washington. He and the band have won multiple awards and recognitions including advancing to the semi-finals in Memphis at the 2013 International Blues Challenge. 

​

They returned in 2019 and finished the week taking home 2nd Place in the Band Challenge.

 

During the final round, one judge gave the band 10's across the board and they were awarded 214 of a possible 250 points.

 

There are few musicians who can cross the Blues-Country line so seamlessly...It was recently stated "Along the borderline between Country and Blues some genius arises. Delbert McClinton and Sammy Eubanks have the same borderline genre.”

​

Sammy Eubanks has performed at Lucas Oil Stadium and numerous appearances at NHRA events. He has opened for National recording artists such as Clint Black, Lee Roy Parnell, Kenny Chesney, Merle Haggard, Sawyer Brown, Colt Ford, Pat Travers and BB King, Robert Cray, Diamond Rio, Trace Adkins, to name just a few.
