At age ten, Sam Marine got his first guitar - a Silvertone Shredder. His parents, both in their mid-20’s when Sam was born, kept their Vero Beach, Florida, home full of music - everything from Marvin Gaye to The Rolling Stones to Merle Haggard. Yet it was J. Mascis’ guitar solo on “Out There” that ultimately inspired the young Sam to pick up the instrument and learn to play. Eight years later, in 2002 at age 18, Sam moved back to his birthplace of Gainsville, Florida. Gainsville, also the hometown of one of Sam’s idols, Tom Petty, had a great music scene. Sam began living with his brother and playing in his brother’s band, Apollo Quartet.
