The spring 2023 season of Lost River Sessions LIVE! continues at 7 p.m. February 16 with Sam Gyllenhaal Band featuring Spooky Fox.

The headliner of the night, Sam Gyllenhaal Band, has found the sweet spot. That place where rich three-part harmony and thoughtful, catchy songwriting come together - but it wasn’t easy to find.  Their pop, rock, and country influences inspire their songs' cascading melodies, driving grooves and vivid lyrics. The band likes to sing about life and love in motion - sometimes soaring, sometimes stumbling, but always moving forward.

Spooky Fox, the opener for Sam Gyllenhaal Band, is a singer/songwriter from southern Kentucky. Otherwise known as Yovany Piko, Spooky Fox recently won the Appalachian Arts and Entertainment Award for “Best Americana 2022” and is currently touring around Kentucky and Ohio. Piko has just released an EP titled Bad Hombre, which was recently featured on NPR WEKU. He is a board member of the Master Musicians Festival in Somerset, was recently on the Jerry Springer Podcast, and was also on Red Barn Radio this past December.
