Sam Baardman's art is about finding details that many have missed and expressing something honest in every song. Backed by understated yet intricate guitar work, he offers up songs that speak to the heart.

A strong theme in Sam’s music has been environmentalism and the need to restore ecological balance in the world. And he is preparing a new book of environmental photography to be published in 2023.

Sam proved himself to be a mature songwriter in the folk tradition. Sam’s second album, The Rookery, was hailed by music critic John Kendle as “a timeless Canadian Folk Record” and it was nominated for Outstanding Roots Recording at the 2000 Prairie Music Awards.
