Jim and Sam are an LA-based husband-and-wife duo who congregate around wistful harmonies, intimate lyrics, and unshakable melodies. After amassing millions of streams, packing shows, and co-starring, co-producing, and co-directing the award-winning documentary After So Many Days, they uphold the ultimate vow on their upcoming 2022 EP, Space For The Stranger [Nettwerk].

Jim and Sam have enchanted audiences with a series of fan favorite releases, including 2017’s This Is What’s Left EP and 2018’s Yeah Whatever Young Forever EP. Along the way, they shot After So Many Days, which chronicled a year straight of them playing one show a day for a year. Emerging as a film festival phenomenon, it took home “Best Music Documentary” at Nashville Film Festival 2020, "Audience Award” at Hell's Half Mile Film & Music Festival 2019, "Special Jury Award" at DeadCenter FF 2020, and was an “Official Selection” at over 30 film festivals including Michael Moore's Traverse City FF 2019. 

As the world shut down due to the Global Pandemic, Jim and Sam continued writing. Around the same time, they found out Sam was pregnant. “The songs came from having the time to sit with our thoughts, each other, and the big life change that was about to happen to us,” muses Jim. “We’ve always been driven by playing live and connecting with people face-to-face. These songs were born out of a need to figure out a way to keep the ship sailing when there was no wind in sight.”
