Sam’s Bio
Samuel Edgar Krentzman was born and raised in Massachusetts in a small town in the woods. His home-schooled, farm-working, woods-wandering childhood allowed him the time he needed to develop into a recording artist and songwriter by the age of fourteen. Sam continued writing and performing music throughout high school and college. After college Sam moved to Arad, Israel to complete a seven-month artist residency where he produced and released a double album collection of original compositions from the desert. Sam returned from Israel to co-found Sea of Eyes in 2006 in New York City with Adam Gordon. In 2012, Sam started The Samuel Edgar Band in Denver, Colorado, and in 2017 founded Knife Crime, also in Denver.  In 2017 Sam founded The Armory, a Denver focused music production and publishing house. The Armory is an artist centered music services resource providing solutions for independent artists located at the intersection of Denver’s RINO, Five Points, and Curtis Park Neighborhoods.
