Sam Reid and the Riot Act, The Highland Drifters

Hailing from Somerville, MA Sam Reid & the Riot Act is an acoustic-guitar driven rock band with a true bluegrass soul. Traditional elements including fiery virtuoso fiddle, mandolin, flatpicked lead guitar and three-part vocal harmonies are anchored, modernized and indeed electrified by the addition of electric bass and drums.

Sam Reid & the Riot Act performs mostly original songs, continually inspired by Irish fiddle tunes, bluegrass and newgrass music.
