Sam Suggs
Double Bass

Acknowledged for his “precise technique, interpretive vision, and impeccable musicianship” (Boston Globe), Sam Suggs cultivates a versatile career as a collaborative and creative bassist. Sam is one of Strad Magazine's “five up-and-coming bass players” and a winner of the International Society of Bassists and Concert Artists Guild solo competitions. As a bassist-composer, he breaks traditional boundaries with “brilliant and compelling programming” (The Strad) and execution that “quite simply boggled the mind” (Oregon Arts Watch). An alum of the Greater Buffalo Youth Orchestra, Northwestern University, and Yale School of Music, he now serves on the faculties of BassWorks, Yellow Barn Chamber Music Festival, and James Madison University.
