Nashville-based artist Sam Varga has returned with his new release, ‘Minute Man’. It’s an interesting track that brings together country and Americana with an alt-pop sensibility. You can feel the influence of his emo roots coming through in his strong American accent, but there is a layer of grit still there, especially in his lyrics. “We’re all made to feel like it’s the end of the world every day—whether it is or isn’t is above our clearance level,” Varga writes. “So I wrote it like a sonic inkblot test. The song doesn’t point fingers. What you love - or hate - about it probably says more about you than it does about me.” Keep an ear out for more from Sam Varga in 2025. -Dan Peeke
