As The Howl & The Hum, Sam Griffiths has spent the best part of the last decade honing this capacity for raw, vulnerable storytelling combined with music that artfully traverses everything from finger-picking folk to indie, country and electronica.
Griffiths’ musical journey began with picking his way through pop punk and indie rock as an angsty teen, before finding his voice after an accidental discovery of Bob Dylan in his dad’s record collection. By 2016, he joined forces with a trio of fellow open mic night regulars to form The Howl & The Hum. Yet, after the Covid-19 pandemic nixed plans for touring or any onstage fanfare around the release, pressure began to build in the group and the band gradually crumbled, leaving Griffiths as the last remaining member.
With the release of his second album, ‘Same Mistake Twice‘ Griffiths confronts the pain and chaos of recent tumultuous years across 12 tracks of his most direct songwriting to date. Surviving the breakup of his band, the global pandemic and reckoning with his future in music.
