33 years after starting his full-fledged music career with The Samples, Sean Kelly continues to delight fans with music that transcends genres, age and shatters the rules of the established music industry. Throughout his career, Sean has been the driving influence of 20 albums and over 1 million records sold.
Sean started playing guitar at age 16 listening to Neil Young, Rolling Stones and Jackson Browne. Those influences mixed with his own poignant and timeless lyrics, a unique and striking voice and a mind for melodies led to songs like Little Silver Ring, Feel Us Shaking and Wild River. For many fans, these aren’t new songs or old songs, but anthems to their lives that represent the first time they met their wife or the joys of their times at college.
The Samples are more than a band – they represent a culture of fans and music that go beyond who happens to be playing in the band at any given time. There have been many members of The Samples, but Sean Kelly has been the consistent factor throughout all of the changes.
Sean’s journeys across America have taken place in rental cars, tour buses and pickup trucks that would have literally taken him to the moon and back over the last quarter of a century. There is a lot of music in store in 2021 and beyond from Sean Kelly and The Samples.

Stripes and Lines create fresh, inventive independent rock that has made them a draw for many years throughout SoCal, and on stages around the country as well.
Avoiding the synth-pop cliches of current “indie” music, Stripes and Lines have always done their own thing – backgrounds in psychedelic rock, punk, and jazz as well as straight-ahead rock combine in ways that defy easy comparisons.
Stripes and Lines bring the old and new together with hints of Built To Spill; a driving rhythm section reminiscent of U2 or The Police; and a touch of Velvet Underground; topped with vocal harmonies that suggest the great vocalists of the 60s.
These guys have covered a lot of miles. But the first priority for Stripes and Lines is making every song new and inventive. “We’ve never been content to just think in one genre,” says bassist Orion. “We always want to break boundaries and challenge ourselves and our fans.”
“Today, the categories don’t matter like they used to. You don’t need to sound just like anyone else,” says Moss. “We bring every influence we have to everything we write.”
