The Tuesday Night Music Club

Regality

In his review of Craighead’s 2017 album The Tuesday Night Music Club, Stereogum’s Chris Deville wrote, “Craighead has developed a musical language all his own, both in terms of his rich chamber-pop arrangements and a sardonic wit communicated so gently that it sometimes takes a while to realize he’s clowning you.” 

Sam's songs cover autobiographical glimpses and musings on life and masculinity in late capitalist America--the requisite singer-songwriter navel gazing intersecting with stories of hopeful Beanie Baby collectors, eating and dying in fast food restaurants, and the enduring power of '90s popular music. This cheeky obscurity over a soft alt-rock soundtrack has drawn listeners to his work both as a solo artist, and earlier as the primary songwriter of Heavy Mole and Feature Films.

He's refined his balance between satire and sincerity on Self-Portrait w/Fries, a  five track EP produced by David Welsh from The Fray, coming out March 22, 2019. He’s still clowning you, just more empathetically. And he's crying and snacking the whole time.
