Sam Coe & The Long Shadows : “This is what modern country music sounds like” - Keith Greentree, BBC Radio

Sam Coe & The Long Shadows debut album “Full Moon” has received critical acclaim since it’s release in March 2018 and it sees them firmly position themselves at the forefront of the UK Country/Americana Music scene. The bands vibrant collection of honest, gutsy and heart wrenching songs ride on a wave of seventies retro country-pop, with an engaging and energetic live performance. A sound that will appeal to fans of artists from Margo Price, to Kacey Musgraves via the Dixie Chicks. Sam Coe & The Long Shadows were invited to play at The O2’s Country to Country festival in 2017, as well as opening for Radio 2 favourites The Shires and Jess & The Bandits.
