“As the crowd thinned over the next hour from a couple thousand to a couple dozen, people talked, networked, posed for cellphone pics, and listened to an impromptu performance by a duo called Food For Cougars. Instead of hip-hop, the soundtrack for this movement sounded more like ’60s-era folk courtesy Bob Dylan. Max Luger worked the harmonica and vocals while his partner J. Calhoun strummed a guitar plugged into a mini amp. People from the audience picked up tambourines and a cowbell to accompany them.”

With his acoustic-inspired songwriting, sleek soulful tone, and island feel, Sam Kiles draws from classics like Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, to The Beatles and Michael Jackson. Born and raised in the Fiji Islands in a family of musicians, he fostered a blend of reggae and soul with hints of contemporary folk and bluesy undertones.
