"I'm realizing that a song is a kind of story. Stories are expressions of togetherness. They're all we have to bridge the phenomenal gulf of our experiences. Through story telling, we come close to perceiving together."
Born in Portland, Oregon with Montana roots, Sam Olson, like his poetic aspirations, can't decide if he should wear a Stetson with his raincoat. He gets inspiration from Greyhound windows and dreams. Blessed to join Holden as a 2019 Resident Artist, he wrote about finding salmon in places they shouldn't be.
