It was a time of astonishing musical and emotional growth. Then fate intervened shortly after in the person of Gamble Rogers, the legendary picker and raconteur from St Augustine who took the young Pacetti under his wing. At 13, he found the music of both Chet Atkins and Merle Travis profound influences on his early musical development.

Sam Pacetti grew up in North Florida, hardly known as a hotbed of either the folk tradition of musical innovation. 'Solitary Travel' heralds the arrival of one of the most talented instrumentalists and composers to appear in acoustic music in a month of Sundays."

And Dirty Linen, the influential US roots publication, opined, "Although the woods are full of young guitar virtuosos, few have developed the style, technique, and artistic wisdom of Sam Pacetti. "This guy is very good, indeed," deadpanned the highly respected (and highly critical) UK magazine Folk Roots. His 1997 Waterbug debut, "Solitary Travel," garnered critical raves. Pacetti represents a culmination of the best of the American and British traditions. An impassioned and ecstatic vocalist, as well as a mesmerizing live performer, seamlessly melding head-spinning guitar pyrotechnics and raw emotion into one breathtaking package. A deft songwriter, capable of haunting depth and wry humor in the space of one song. Sam Pacetti is one who brings it all together.
