Sam Blasucci

Sam Blasucci is a Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter best known for his work as part of the rootsy folk-rock duo Mapache. Beginning in the late 2010s, he and fellow singer/guitarist Clay Finch built a reputation for close harmonies and melodic, country-indebted songwriting with a distinctive West Coast flavor. In 2023, Blasucci released Off My Stars, his first solo effort. Inspired by the acquisition of a piano and a stint living in New Orleans, the album featured a more introspective lyrical tone and a varied instrumental palette with forays into pop and classic '70s-style singer/songwriter fare.
