“You got to use what you got to get just what you want.”
— James Brown
 
 

Over the course of two decades, Samson The Aviator, under a few different names and with some minor line-up changes, has consistently delivered its uniquely powerful, funky take on indie rock.

The band has played at great rock venues in the US, centered mainly in the dynamic music scene of Chicago, Illinois.
