Sam Phillips EP on sale April 20!

Sam Phillips releases her latest EP Magic For Everybody through iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers today, April 20, 2010. Due to incredible response to the five-song EP, originally released as part of her Long Play web project, Sam decided to put the music out to the general public so more people could hear the music. In addition to the title track, newly penned songs “Trouble”, “Lever Pulled Down” and “Always Merry and Bright” appear next to a complete re-working of Sam’s song “Tell Her What She Wants To Know”, which originally appeared on the 2003 soundtrack album for Gilmore Girls, the TV show to which Sam composed and performed the score each week.

Musicians featured on Magic For Everybody include the rhythm section of Jay Bellerose (drums) and Jennifer Condos (bass); guitarist Greg Leisz; guitarist and string arranger Eric Gorfain (who also mixed the EP); and of course Sam herself on guitars, piano and all vocals.

Purchase Magic For Everybody at iTunes (available at iTunes worldwide), Amazon US, Amazon UK, and most other digital retailers.
