Hey sam. I'm part of the "Youth Spectacular" and we are singing your song "I Hear A Quiet Voice" and I was wondering wheer I can find it! I want to buy it on iTunes but I dont see it! Can you please let me know where I can find it? Thanks! :)

I'm such a Sam Payne junkie I get jealous when somebody talks about a Sam song I haven't heard yet! What is "I Hear Quiet Voice", and can get to hear and own it? How about a downloadable "Favela"?

Sam

February 1, 2010

Sadie! Such a pleasure to be with you guys last night, and a real thrill to have such a terrific choir sing the song. You turned up the awesome! Glad to be a part of what you're doing. Thanks.

Sadie

Hey Sam I just wanted to say thank you for writing the song i hear a quiet voice. I was one of the youth who had the chance to sing it at the fireside. It's such a beautiful song!! Thanks for letting us sing your wonderful music!

Hey Elder Payne! Here's a blast from the past: the Argentina Mendoza Mission (La M.A.M.), the MTC, and the mission office. Sam, you haven't changed a bit! Well, except for being married and having 4 sons, and all. May God bless the goodness of your lives! --John

I went to the Tuachan Christmas Concert to see my nephew sing with the Vocal Point group from BYU. I was awed by them, but then also discovered your amazing talent. I loved the song about 'Archibald Gardner' who happens to be my neighbor's gg grandfather. I can't wait to tell him. Thank you for a wonderful show. You have a new fan.

Jim

December 4, 2009

Saw you and the band perform at Tuachan's christmas concert. Never heard of you before, but loved the concert! Absolutely loved your rendition of "We Three Kings" I went straight home and found it on iTunes and bought it. Keep up the good work!

Sam,

Saw you perform at the Sandy Amplitheater on Friday, September 11th. What a great, moving show. A good friend introduced me to your music and invited me to the show. Amazing. Hope to see you again soon.

May 27, 2009

I'm so excited that you are coming to the Junciton on the 20th! I was so disappointed that we weren't going to be able to see you in Salt Lake this year, but the junction is like, 10 minutes from my house so my mom and I will definitly see you there:) Yeah!

Sam

May 25, 2009

Rich, you're too kind. I appreciate the kind words very much--though from what I can see, SUSWA is in better hands right now than it's ever been! Look forward to seeing you on our next visit to Southern Utah.

Rich Panessa

May 21, 2009

To anyone and everyone who will go or has already been to one of your concerts:
Sam Payne is truly a "master storyteller" and the pictures he paints with lyric are like that of Picasso with oils and a brush; authentic, colorful, and always containing imagery that will exercise the mind and heart. When he teams up with journeymen musicians Steve Lemmon,
Ryan Tilby, and Steve Flaig the result is genius. Sam started this thing called the "Southern Utah Songwriters Association" years ago in St. George and as long as I follow as one of his successors, I will do what is necessary to maintain the standards he has set.
Thanks for coming back and entertaining the folks of southern Utah at Ancestor Square on April 30, 2009. You are a Utah son and a treasure. The website looks terrific and I wish you all the best.
Rich Panessa ( SUSWA )

Thanks for coming, Starbuck (no kidding? Starbuck? Cool. Screen name or real name?). We had a great time that evening. It's beena long time since we played Ancestor Square, and being there with y'all was food for the soul. So glad you're enjoying the album as well!

Starbuck

May 4, 2009

Great to see you in St. George. I couldn't make the Jazzy Java show, but the Ancestor Square show was something special. Great to see you in that venue again. Love the new album, too.

Hey Sam...I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you how awesome i think your music is. Drew Williams turned me and my wife onto your music by inviting us to a show you both performed. Thanks for sharing your passions with the world...sometimes music is the only thing that makes sense in this crazy world. KEEP THE MUSIC FLOWING !!!

Hey Jason,

Thanks for posting the link. The guestbook doesn't read links automatically, so I'll post the same link on the "News" page so people can read it if they like. Nice comments from Angie! Thanks for letting me know about them!

Jason Anderson

April 15, 2009

Hey Sam, I enjoyed your performance with Russ Dixon on "Good Things Utah." Did you know that Angie Larsen mentioned you guys in the show's blog? Here's the link to her comments. Again, guys, good job. Thrilled that the show went so well.

Thanks, Marci.

That was, indeed, a special evening. It was a pleasure to be involved. So glad you enjoyed it.

Marci

April 8, 2009

We didn't know what to expect from the Paul Cardall benefit on Monday night. Boy, were we blown away. What an evening. We were amazed at the world-class show we got, and for the outpouring of support for Paul. So memorable. Many thanks to you and the rest of the guys.

Sam

April 8, 2009

Hey Megan! We haven't been asked yet to play the Brigham Young Park series this year. But if we do, I'll be sure to let you know. Its been good to see your family at that show over the years!

Megan

April 6, 2009

Do you know if you're doing your usual summer concert at the Brigham Young Memorial Park again this summer?

Sam Payne

March 20, 2009

Hey friends! The guestbook here at sampayne.com was getting spammed like crazy, so I turned it off. Most frustrating, since I love hearing from y'all. But this new little captcha tool ought to help. I hope it's not too inconvenient for you. It's facilitated putting the guestbook back online, which I'm very excited about.

Cheers!

Sam Payne! I'm here in town and thought I need to check out your schedule to see if I could catch another fun concert of your, but...it looks like I'll miss it by a day!!! I'm so sad. Still one of your biggest fans! Hope you are doing great. Lor

Sam,
How cool are you? I am so happy to see your success. I hope you remember me. I remember you from as far back as Mrs. Reagan 2nd grade class in Alpine.

Sam

July 6, 2008

Careful how you say that! We may just come and camp in the park and never leave! We really had a great time with you. Thanks for being so gracious.

July 5, 2008

Thanks for coming to Henefer! We're such a small town for such great talent. Loved every minute! You are welcome anytime!

LOVE the new cd Father to Son, Sam! You have such soulful talent.

Mary Ann Maxwell Hebbert

June 29, 2008

Reading Ann's comments brought back a ton of memories! We are alive and well in PA. What fun that technology allows such gatherings! If either of you are in the neighborhood we're close to lots of historical sites and we love having company spend a few days camping on our floors :)

Sam

June 26, 2008

Imagine my delight to see my favorite childhood babysitter and my favorite auntie both checking in here! It's terribly cool hearing from you both!

Ann Pappas Jones

June 25, 2008

Hey Sam,

I love the new look of your website (maybe not so new, but it's been a while since I've checked in). I mostly had to comment because I saw Mary Ann Maxwell's name!!! Blast from the past. Childhood memories of visiting with your family and hanging out with Mary Ann. She had the best trampoline! We used to spend hours talking religion, and sharing a babysitting love of you kids! Was it her dog that bit off your face when you were a wee tyke? Ahh, the strange things your ole' Auntie remembers. Well, greetings to Mary Ann if she checks in again, and thanks to you, Sam, for creating a great gathering place, better than the local coffee shop!

Love to the boys and Kris! -annie

I'm sitting w/ an elderly woman this week for some friends so they could get away alone....I'm listening to Fly Ball and crying...wow, I must be getting old if I listened to your dad when I teenager(still do), babysat you (no longer do that) and now my children are listening to you (as well as their mother ((listeing to their mother and their mother is also listening to you))). I was reading through some of your blogs, looking for the lyrics to Fly Ball and read that your favorite book is My Name Is Asher Lev. That is my all time favorite book and I search the world for others who have read it because I know we are kindred spirits.

Keep up the amazing work, Sam! We love your music. I expect my children's children will be listening to your children performing some day...it would be appra-po.

June 21, 2008

Sam, I was just reading our stake bulletin and saw you will be in DC tomorrow night. I only live 40 minutes away but won't be able to make it. Looks like life is treating you well. It's fun to see a familar name and face while living so far from home. Good luck with everything,
Anne

Hey, I was wondering if you could sing Ohio Son at your concert in Salt Lake on Friday.

Cheryl

June 12, 2008

I love the idea for this new album. I LOVED the days in class when you would just give us a little concert. Favorite! You're awesome, keep up the good singing!

Sam

June 12, 2008

Hey Melissa! Nice to hear from you. You bet we're doing the Brigham Park series this year. Coming right up, in fact! June 27. My love to your whole gang.

P.S. I'm glad you got to see my mom. I'm pretty proud of her. For those of you paying attention, my mother went back to school in her fifties, and recently finished her graduate work as an architect at the University of Utah. Rock and roll, Mom!

Melissa Sonntag

June 11, 2008

Hey, I hope you had a great birthday! I know it's late, but I did think of y ou on your birthday.
Hey, I also saw your mother at her Architechture display before she graduated. It was cool to see her and her project was really good.
Are you doing the Brigham Young Park Concert Series this year? My friend called me tonight and said her dd got tickets to your concert at Sandy Amphitheater on Sept 5th. So she was asking me about you.
I hope to see you this Summer.

Cheri

June 10, 2008

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM! I hope you are having a great day and a great start to this next year ahead of you! We think you are awesome! So glad to have you closer by. The new album looks awesome! Take care, now!

Jennifer Wilde

May 31, 2008

I keep coming across your name as i cruz the internet. Looks like you are doing well. Glad that somebody from the old "hood" has made a name for himself. I should get out and come see one of your perfomances!

Hey Jennilyn!
Happy Mother's Day! You may not have to wait too...hmm. Maybe no more info for now, but watch this space! In the meantime, "Father to Son" (recorded for a live audience) hits the street sometime this month, with "Autumn Leaves" as the closer.

Jennilyn Tillotson

May 11, 2008

Dear Sam,
It's Mother's Day, so I'm indulging here spending a few minutes to write one of my music wishes! Please tell Kris I hope she has/had a Happy Mother's Day! Your "Route 66" on Bow Me Down is such a fun trip! And I'm on the rescue adventure with you every time in "The Big TIme". Back when you were in Lars Yorgansen's WSU jazz group, I enjoyed your performances the most. You're a scat wizard! I'm hoping my words are another voice urging you in doing an all-jazz album - ok, a mostly jazz record would be fine. I don't care how many songs are originals and how many are the standards made your own. Just do me some more jazz, will ya, Sam?
Thanks! Jennilyn

Herb and Wendy Basso

April 20, 2008

Thanks again so much for visiting us in our home in Manti and blessing us with your words and music. We hope you will return again soon- you are always welcome. With aloha from Herb and Wendy.

March 25, 2008

I was at yoga class and the instructor was playing a cover of the Dylan song Shelter From the Storm. She told me it was your cover and I would like to know how I can purchase this song or one of your CD's that has this song on it.

March 25, 2008

thanks sam for coming to my wedding. we miss you and your family back here in st. george. hope all is well, sincerly mike

Jennifer Erdosy

March 16, 2008

I was Jennifer Harris in high school, class of '87, in choir with you, Sam. it's too cool to see how you've turned out - kind of the way we all dreamed we would, but you made it work!

"The Princess Bride" was a strong influence on many of our formative years. i love that you cite that.

if you enjoy seeing what others are doing as much as i do, check out my blog: http://mamabear1001.blogspot.com/

hugs and surprise cheek kisses!

March 1, 2008

Hey sam! do you still teach seminary or is are you all about your music now? I was reading through some other post and someone mentioned the games we used to play and that brings back alot of memories. great to be in touch with you.

Sam

February 18, 2008

Hey Kyle! Thanks for coming out to the Rexburg show. Good times. Keep watching the website! The new disc ought to be done by late Spring (May). We're excited about it.

And Verlene! Good heavens! So great to hear from you. Those Clearfiled days are dear to me. Thanks for catching up, and God bless.

Kyle Standing

February 18, 2008

Sam, I was at your concert here in Rexburg, ID. You are great!!
When does your new CD come out?

Verlene Mills Johnson

January 31, 2008

I was one of Sam Payne's first seminary students at Clearfield High in Utah. He was the best and really changed my desire for learning the gospel. The first day in class I remembering him jumping up on the desk and singing a song I thought oh great this is going to be fun. But it turned out to be the best semester in semenary I ever had. I loved the days he would sing for us. Thanks Bro. Payne I will never forget the lessons you taught me.

Cheri

January 25, 2008

So, I'm online on one of those LDS singles websites checking out the guys and I see a picture of a guy who looks interesting so I start reading through his profile. In the "fun facts" section it asks for favorite bands or artists and right there is your name! Sam Payne! It's so cool! You're getting to be famous, Sam!

Rick Klemm

January 23, 2008

Sam, I am glad I have this opportunity to say thanks for the time you spent at Paul and Jill Burgons home earlier this month playing and singing for us. I felt the spirit there. I have been listening to my "Bow Me Down" CD over and over.....it's great and I'm spreading the word. Sincerely,Rick Klemm

Karlee Cysewski

I saw you in concert at BYU-Idaho. You are an amazing artist, and you inspire me. I wish you the best and hope you continue to create such an awesome experience for your audience. Thank you

January 19, 2008

I was just rminising with my son about back home, alpine utah. My son of 15 was talking and it reminded me of your dad so I was trying to find something on the internet and found you and you dad thats pretty cool. I wanted to try and get a copy of the plane maker or see if you all had anything out there.

Steve Tilley

January 7, 2008

I caught you at the concert in Fort Worth this fall. I now live in Cheyenne, WY and looking to expand my library of the music I enjoyed there in Texas. I love your music. It brings peace to me.

Heather Lasson Lewis

December 26, 2007

Hi Sam!
I came across your name while looking at upcoming 2008 Tuachan performances with my teenage daughter. I am so happy that you are so successful with your music! I had to tell my daughter all about how a bunch of my Brighton girlfriends hung out with some great AF guys. Fun memories. Best wishes with your continued success!

Amara Purdy

December 13, 2007

Hi Sam! We were just sitting around enjoying your Christmas album and were reminded of what a great "rock-star" you are. thought we better check out your website. Hope you are all well. Thanks for sharing with us.

Rory & Linda Ward

December 9, 2007

Thursday night concert "The Gift" with all our other local boys was great! We've been to almost all of the Christmas concert shows starting with the Barn at Thanksgiving Point,this was the best. Thanks for the spirit of Christmas that filled the Mckay Center. We felt the joy all of you had preforming together. Thanks for sharing.Thanks for your talents.

Sam

December 6, 2007

Hey Meg,

Thanks for your post. We've really enjoyed playing at Brigham Young Memorial Park, and grateful for the invitations. We'd love to do it again this year. If they invite us, we certainly will!

Meg

December 1, 2007

Hey!
We were just planning our schedule for Young Womens today for next year and we wanted to include one of your concerts in it. Do you know if you are going to be performing your Brigham Young Park Concert again this year? We would love to go if you are!

Hannah Johnson

December 1, 2007

The Gift Concert was incredible! My friends and I were wondering if there's going to be a CD of it. That would be awesome! Thanks for doing what you do :)

Jennilynn Tillotson

Enjoyed your performing when we were at Weber State. Love it more all the time.

Hey Brother Payne,
How have you been?! I hear your getting another CD out. Sweet!! Can't wait to hear it?!

Paul and Diana

November 25, 2007

The new EP sounds great. Thanks for posting the two songs. I still get requests for another Sam Payne house concert here in Cali. News songs = New concert. All the Central California Fans (and soon to be fans) are getting restless... come on back out here.

Dave "sampaynefan" since 2002

November 25, 2007

First saw you perform at the First Night celebration in St. George in 2002 and am now a "sampaynefan" for life! As Glenn Beck says "holy cow!", music has a new superstar for me now. I am one of those old timers that went to BYU when your dad was there...loved listening to James Taylor, Bob Dylan, John Denver, JD Souther, Don McLean, Dan Fogleberg, etc. How one person can have characteristics of all these great performers,(with a dash of jazz and scat..alla Danny Kaye), is absolutely remarkable!! Just bought your latest CD and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of more musical inspiration from you.

Tommie Sue

November 21, 2007

Somedays, I just come to your site and listen to your music and it lifts me. Thanks.

November 21, 2007

We were at the recording session last night. What a wonderful way to spend an evening. We had such a lovely time I decided to look you up on line- and look what I find! And another Christmas gift purchased (I bought the 8 CDs for my family) I just purchased tickets to 'The Gift'. It will be an early gift- but will set a lovely theme for the rest of the season. Do you post the lyrics to your songs? Thanks again for a great evening. The album will be fabulous. I cannot wait to hear it.

Cheri Lott

November 20, 2007

Hi again, Sam. Just got home from your live concert. What an enjoyable evening! So glad I was able to attend! I can't WAIT for this album to come out! I had no idea you had so many new tunes ready. One I had never heard before brought tears to my eyes. "Fly Ball" brought some tender feelings to the surface just a little bit. There just was no one else in my life quite like Grandma Lott. And remembering her and envisioning her meeting with Grandpa just sort of hit me. Thanks for that song.

Hillary Barlow Griffen

November 18, 2007

Hi Sam! I'm so glad I stumbled across you! I always knew you would end up in music. In case you don't remember me, we had Acapella and Seminary together. We just moved to Lausanne Switzerland and my teenage son was doing an online search of LDS artists and we stumbled onto you. At times like this the world seems incredible small. Congratulations!

Karissa Lemme

October 30, 2007

Hey Jordan,

I'm glad you enjoyed the Skyline concert. We (Pete, Ryan, and I) will, I think, look on that show with a lot of fond memories. It was a great night. The Dylan tune we did together is called "Girl From the North Country," and appears on both "Nashville Skyline" (as a duet with Johnny Cash that some people herald as a great cut, but that I don't like much), and on "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," as a terrific cut from one of my all-time favorite records.

The steel-mill song is actually called "Cleaner," and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's not on the EP (advertised on the website now), but we're going into the studio late in November to record a full-length album (the EP only has eight tracks--long for an EP maybe, but short for an album), and it's slated for recording as a part of those November sessions.

The EP was created by a Salt Lake record label called Sounds of Zion, as an effort to collect into one place the handful of songs that I do with them in concert. They produce a big multi-artist inspirational show called "an evening of music and inspiration." I've written some stuff to be performed in those shows. As such, the EP is more overtly inspirational in nature than the other albums. It was produced an engineered by Ryan Tilby (the same Ryan Tilby who played with us as Skyline), and turned out nicely.

Thanks again for your email. I'm runnin' with Sam's compliment. How can you beat "really cool"?

-Sam

Jordan

October 26, 2007

Sam,
We truly enjoyed the "Save the Arts, Share the Music" concert at Skyline last week. I was wondering what the name of the Bob Dylan tune you and Peter sang was and where I might be able to find it? Also what is the name of the song you wrote about the steel mill? My son has been calling it "Work this Machine." Will that be on the new album? The whole concert was excellent. Thanks also for saying hello to my sons afterwards, in the words of my son Sam it was "really cool." Keep up the great music, we are looking forward to the new album.

Grace

October 23, 2007

haha, NUH UH! His name is NOT Ryan...ok i guess you would know his name better than me...wow, that's embarassing. Sorry, well nevermind then, i shouldn't be talking. Oh ok, yeah i thought it was mean how they gave you all these cool certificates and then it's like, "ok, nothing for you.." but thanks for setting that straight. Some of my friends i was sitting with were still mad even 2-3 days after you guys performed. :D! Well anyways, I really enjoyed listening to you play, you were great and I will keep my eye out for new albums!! :D!

Nathan Wright

October 22, 2007

OK,Sam, I found your webpage online, and now more than ever I am anxious to hear your music/see you perform - recorded, live, whatever. I've got to come back and read more from your thoughts page. Why didn't you tell me you were Marvin Payne's son? See you on Sundays! Nathan

Sam

October 22, 2007

Hey Grace! Thanks for your post to the website. I had a great time at Skyline,and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't know what to expect, and the audience was terrific. As far as my back-up guy was concerned, I don't think the concert organizers (who were awesome, by the way) knew he was coming until we got there. They were very gracious to him backstage (Ryan is his name. You called him Nick, which is interesting because he has a
brother-in-law named Nick who used to be our drummer). We had a good laugh on the way home--him with nothing but a soda in his hand, and me with plaques and gift certificates and balloons and thank-you cards and such. I gave some balloons to Ryan's son, Weston, and Ryan and I decided to split the gift certificate and take our wives out to dinner :)

Thanks again for the note.

Grace

October 21, 2007

I saw you at the Skyline Save the Arts Benefit and I thought you were great! I never thought that I could like another genre other than rap! :)! Your lyrics have such unique insight. I love your songs. -Oh and I hope your back-up Nick was pissed for the committee not thanking him. I was. He was great too!:)

Cristina

October 17, 2007

I just found you. WOW! Sunflower is just a beautiful song. I love it. It really touches me. I am going to buy your songs for my ipod.

Sam

October 17, 2007

Jake, gosh, thanks for your post. I don't know exactly what to say, except that I'm very, very thankful that we could be part of a comforting memory that night. Some blessings, I guess, we can't anticipate or prepare for. Thanks again for coming to the show, and for sharing this.

Jake Thomas

October 14, 2007

I was able to catch your show at the Harvest Moon festival in Spanish Fork. I really enjoyed it even if it was cold outside. My Dad was a singer and would perform at venues like that. He passed away unexpectedly a few months ago and to hear you play reminded me so much of him that I had to tell you thank you.

Jennifer Durham

October 6, 2007

Congratulations on your recent Pearl Award! You so completely totally deserve it! (Dude... Why is that news nowhere to be found on your website? C'mon - brag a little. You earned it.)
