The Vernon Spring
The Vernon Spring aka Sam Beste continues his longstanding residency series at Servant Jazz Quarters. Throughout the residency Sam has been experimenting with material new and old in search of a sound that feels like home. This solo departure comes after many years of producing records with his band Hejira, soulstress Tawiah, string duo Fran & Flora and others, many of which are part of the Lima Limo collective he co-founded. Sam has also been in demand as a pianist and writer for other artists including Amy Winehouse, Matthew Herbert, and most recently Leon Vynehall and Kano. In conjunction with the residency The Vernon Spring has been releasing a series of singles, which he consolidates on Valentines Day with the release of his debut eponymous EP on Lima Limo Records.
