Sam Palladio was a guitar player before he became famous around the world for playing aspiring songwriter Gunnar Scott in the hit TV show Nashville in 2012. Spending years living and working in the Music City however, would provide a priceless musical education for the young British actor and musician

To find his true artistic voice, he had to take what Nashville had given him and come home. He returned with a much better guitar collection than he'd had before he left, the pick of which are a pair of customised Gibson acoustic guitars that he got while on the show. One of them would be the vehicle to write his debut album, The Perfect Summer's Day, Before We Lost the Light, which is dedicated to his late mother.

Sam takes us through the stories of these two unique instruments, and the lessons and experiences he's learned through being on Nashville and beyond – including where NOT to get Elton John to sign your guitar.

Sam's album is out now, check it out here: https://found.ee/sp_tpsdbwltl
