SAM RAINWATER Trop Rock Award Winner & Nominee, Sam Rainwater performs an eclectic blend of “Mexatropaholic” and Trop Rock Music. A "Rocket Scientist" in his day job, Sam is a Trop-Rocker in his soul, writing and playing music in the US and Mexico. You may have seen Sam playing or sitting in on ukulele at Trop-Rock venues and events across the country. Sam’s musical growth has taken him from being “the Uke Guy” at local Parrot Head events to the Nashville recording of his two CD’s, “Vacation Location” and “Dressing For Life”. Sam’s charitable work earned him the 2012 TRMA “I Can” Award for community service. Sam writes and plays all of his music with a purpose, donating 100% of his music income to charity and then doubling those donations through a match from his consulting company SunTronics Inc.! His current charities are Packages from Home and Wounded Warrior (while in the USA) and Castaway Kids (while in Mexico). To Date Sam has donated over $85,000 from his music. Sam’s 1st Nashville produced album “Vacation Location” was key in Sam being nominated for the Trop Rock Horizon Award in 2011. It features 17 original Trop Rock songs. Michael Lopez of the Phoenix New Times says “this album screams Parrot Head, and the music sure as hell didn't disappoint”. Sam’s 2nd album “Dressing for Life” continues his musical adventures. Coupled with his 1st album and charitable work, Sam’s national reputation has grown and earned him invitations to regional events and air play on internet Trop Rock stations. Sam’s is proud of his 3rd album “Can You Not Hear Me Now”. In that it conveys the ‘laid back beach” feeling he loves to live, mixed in with a little Country and a humorous look at a Rap song!.
