Sam Gyllenhaal Band, Will Pellerin, Hadley Kennary
-
The Sam Gyllenhaal Band has found the sweet spot. That place where rich three-part harmony and thoughtful, catchy songwriting come together - but it wasn’t easy to find. Sam has been writing, woodshedding, recording, and gigging over a span of 10 years that has included living in 3 cities, 5 or 6 day jobs, and hundreds of song demos.
Music has always been a big part of Sam's life, but he didn’t discover that he wanted to pursue music professionally until writing his first song in college. Since that very first song, Sam has had a one-track mind; to make music he loves with the people he loves.
Joined by his frequent co-writer Alaina Stacey and long-time friend and bandmate Alex Schreiner, the Sam Gyllenhaal Band officially came together in 2017. Alaina brings a beautifully pure tone and an out-of-this-world knack for blending. Alex, who has known Sam since their college a cappella days, has a voice that complements and magnifies Sam's smooth tenor - he’s also been known to play the shaker like it owes him money.
The band came out with their first full-length album entitled “A Little More Freedom” in December of 2018, co-produced with industry veteran Denny Martin. The first track, “Anything, Everything” was featured on the Silverado Records Country Music Discovery Series, receiving 30k streams on Spotify alone. In November of 2020, the band came out with an EP called "Don't Look Down". The title track won an honorable mention in American Songwriters' 2021 Song Contest. Starting in March of 2022 they’ve released a single and video every month with no plans of stopping.
Their pop, rock, and country influences inspire their songs' cascading melodies, driving grooves and vivid lyrics. The band likes to sing about life and love in motion - sometimes soaring, sometimes stumbling, but always moving forward.

Will Pellerin
Dear friends,
How are you doing? This is Will here. I want to say thank you for stopping by and checking out my website!
I am going to use this space to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 22 year old singer-songwriter from upstate New York. I have loved music from a very young age.
My first memory of ever being hooked on a song was when I was 5 years old. The song "Tubthumping (I Get Knocked Down)" by Chumbawamba came on MTV and I was an instant fan. I slowly refined my taste in melody from popular "90's anarcho-pop, punk", as described by Wikipedia, to the soulful songwriter greats of James Taylor, Chadwick Stokes, and Ray Lamontagne. I started playing guitar when I was 12, wrote my first "real" song when I was 15, and I haven't stopped since.
Over the last 10 years, I have slowly tried to fine tune my craft. I spent time playing in a 7 piece folk band, was a member of an all-male a-capella group for 3 years, and have played shows across the Northeast. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am to be able to pursue music and I can't wait to share new sounds with you in 2016!
I currently live in Nashville, Tennessee where I am pursuing my passion.
With Love, Will.
