White Pines Artist

Sam Banks

Sam’s love of country music stemmed from a time so young his dad had to chauffeur him to gigs all over the Midwest. Heavily influenced by the songwriting of Dean Dillon and Tony Lane, the artistry and delivery of Merle Haggard, and Brent Mason’s infamous chicken pickin’ guitar licks, Sam’s easy listening voice and heart felt songwriting will have you hanging on to every word. 

Music opportunities from his hometown in Kansas City landed him with the opportunity to sell merch for Craig Morgan and he saw the big picture in that opportunity. A few years passed before Sam then was playing venues like the Grand Ole Opry right alongside Craig as his utility player/BGV. As a singer, songwriter, and musician, he has had countless opportunities to share the stage and learn alongside many talented and well known artists over the years including Craig Morgan, Jimmy Fortune, Hank Williams Jr.’s children – Hilary, Holly, and Sam Williams, Tate Stevens, and many more while dually pursuing his own artistry. 

As an unsigned songwriter, Sam had his first major label cut with Craig Morgan in 2020 with “Going Out Like This”, on Craig’s God Family Country album. His most recent cuts include “Ask Him” released by Craig Morgan on the God Family Country Deluxe Album, along with multiple cuts coming soon on country star William Michael Morgan’s and Josh Ward’s upcoming albums.
