Hailing from Somerville, MA, Sam Reid & the Riot Act performs mostly original songs, continually inspired by Irish fiddle tunes, bluegrass and newgrass music that Sam grew up playing. Founded in 2006 by Sam and Johnny (two veterans of the Boston music scene as founding members of alt-country band Three Day Threshold), these days the band performs regularly at festivals, breweries, and Boston area music venues immersed in the burgeoning New England Americana scene. Sam Reid & the Riot Act guarantees a jaw-dropping, foot-stomping show, every time they take the stage!
