About Mary Lamont
Called the “Queen of Long Island Country” by Newsday, Mary Lamont was three times voted Band of the Year by the NY Metro CMA, twice voted Singer/Songwriter of the Year by the NJ CMA, and is the first American country act to tour Mainland China.

Raised in rural Ontario, Mary has been featured in ASCAP’s prestigious Playback Magazine, is featured in ASCAP.com’s Audio Portraits, and has opened for Delbert McClinton and Marshall Tucker as well as Charlie Daniels Band at NYCB Theatre at Westbury.

Mary also had the honor of singing with Les Paul’s Trio at the famous Iridium Club in New York City.

Mary’s latest CD “Not Far from Here” features original tunes as well as a country song given to Mary to record by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dennis Dunaway, original bassist of the Alice Cooper group and writer of such AC hits as “School’s Out.”

The title track has the legendary Steve Holley (drummer for Paul McCartney, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Ian Hunter).

Mary was on the cover of Newsday’s “Explore LI” section, and was also included in Newsday’s Jones Beach anniversary feature. (Mary Lamont Band has performed at the Jones Beach Boardwalk Bandshell for more seasons than any other act.)

Mary is also a radio DJ at WUSB 90.1 Stony Brook University, where she hosts “Down Home Country” on alternate Sundays, 12:00-1:00pm.

About A Band Called Sam

The Spirit Of The Late Legendary Long Island Hall Of Fame Inductee Sam “Bluzman” Taylor continues to live on courtesy of his long time backing band, A Band Called Sam featuring Mario Staino (Drums), Gary Sellers (Guitar), Gary Grob (Bass), Danny Kean (Keyboards) and carrying the last name tradition is Sam’s oldest daughter top tier vocalist Sandra Taylor and her son L*A*W (Lawrence Taylor Worrell) know for his prolific work with Parliament-Funkadelic and the late great Amy Winehouse

True to Sam’s blueprint unorthodox vision, A Band Called Sam combines the best of progressive high energy Blues, Funk-Soul & Rock but can easily lead way to elements of Jazz, Country & even Hip-Hop thanks to Sam’s profound guitar work being sampled by rap artists like EPMD, Jay-Z, Public Enemy & many others.

You can always expect A Band Called Sam to make the crowd wanna dance, jump, scream and yell through the pulse of their tight-knit musicianship and wave which is one of many reasons why their album “Legacy” was #1 on various Blues & Soul charts around the world.
