JUNE 2026

Dear Fans,

Happy summer!

I’ve just celebrated my 60th birthday!! 

My music is thriving. On spotify I’ve just hit 82,000 monthly listeners-- closing in on 100,000 monthly listeners!

Im busy working on my vocal stamina, as I will be performing some longer sets(2 hours) later this summer.  I’m on track for performing at Northborough Porchfest and The Bolton Fair.   I just got back from NYC, where I performed a set at The Wild Goose in Queens.

I’ve started running google ads for my website, which is substantially increasing my traffic and getting me more newsletter subscribers. I’m also making my label(Final Orbit Records) official, I plan to purchase the “Final Orbit Records” domain and have applied for a  trademark.

May and June were rough months, I faced a bought of food poisoning, a viral infection, a bacterial infection and a case of strep throat(and treatment with antibiotics), which put a pause on my performing.

I’ve started working in a new area of marketing—I have been applying for paid gigs at assisted living facilities! My first nursing home  engagement is July 21 in Baldwinville, MA.

The completion of my next album is in sight!  It will be released in September, and will be entitled “Satellite”. Some of the singles in the album include “Satellite”, “Artemis”, “Tempting Fate” and  “The Warrantee”.

In the studio, I’ve been working with my audio engineer to fatten the vocal harmonies on my new tracks, using the advanced doubling system on my arranger.  This will make the tracks even more effective in live performance.

Stay tuned for more local performances and original music videos!

Sing on!

Warmly,

Sam Welch
