SLAMUEL CUNNINGHAM w/ Cameron Wrinkle opening.

Slamuel Cunningham is a songwriter and performer based in South Texas, forged in odd places and hard lessons. Raised in the long shadow of art and absurdity, he spent years working behind aliases, releasing records under different names: Life Is Not Easy (1997), Till the Stars Don’t Shine and the Sun Don’t Rise (1999), Begun to Fight with Sam and The Clams (2002), and Chiffondle Me with Runes of Eden (2012).

His music lives somewhere between folk, blues, and alternative rock, shaped by the influence of Bob Dylan, Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, Neil Finn, Ani DiFranco, Elliott Smith, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Beck, Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, and the Smashing Pumpkins—without ever sounding like a tribute act.

Cameron Wrinkle is a 5th generation musician from Tuscola, Texas. Cameron spent his high school years writing songs and working as a ranch hand. Shortly after graduating he packed up and headed for Nashville, TN and spent several years there learning the craft of writing. Although you can take the boy out of Texas, you can’t take Texas out of the boy; Cameron is now working as an independent Texas artist playing live shows all over the US. Traditional country, Texas red dirt, and a rock flare shape Cameron’s energetic, cowboy-influenced show. His set features classic country covers plus original material co-written with hit Nashville writers. He has shared the stage with artist like Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, Tracy Byrd, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, The Oakridge Boys, Chris Cagle, Wilder Blue, Ward Davis, Bryan Martin, Etc.
