His work blends humor with heartache, and tradition with exploration. Emmer’s writing is often compared to that of John Prine and Guy Clark. He has toured the US numerous times, collaborated with Grammy-winners, and received grants & awards for his music in Texas and Colorado. Emmer’s third studio album, Alpine Coda, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim. His work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard, American Songwriter, the Cannes Film Festival, and 200+ radio stations worldwide. Sam Armstrong-Zickefoose was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado. His first musical experiences were playing bluegrass with his uncles and cousins at family get-togethers, and learning guitar from his dad. He honed his technical skills on the banjo as a student at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, where he focused on exploring its cultural significance and history by performing in the Balkan/Middle-Eastern Music Ensemble, studying traditional Ugandan music, and West African drumming. He was also invited to play with The Spirit of Uganda, an international touring group of traditional Ugandan music and dance. You can see Sam performing with a number of bands all over the United States including Meadow Mountain, Masontown, Grace Clark Band, David Burchfield, and filling in for Bennet Sullivan with Ben Sollee. Sam has always had a passion for collaboration and lifting up other artists. His ability to listen closely, his commitment to fair treatment, and his desire for the strengths of each band member to shine, all make him a strong sideperson. Now, Sam is using these skills to step out of the role of a side person and venture into leading a band of his own. Lost City will offer food and drink to enjoy during the shows including cocktails, wine, beer, and snacks from chef Silvia Hernandez.
