Kiko Loureiro,Richie Kotzen: among performers set for Samson Technologies NAMM



Samson Technologies has one of the industry's most impressive and diverse rosters of renowned artist endorsees. Many of these artists will be appearing at the 2013 NAMM Show from January 24 through January 27 in the company's new location in Hall C, Booth 4590. This year, Samson, Hartke and Zoom's star-studded schedule will showcase over 25 artists from varying genres signing autographs and demonstrating products.

Artists scheduled to sign at the booth include Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), David Ellefson(Megadeth), Glenn Hughes (Black Country Communion), Mike Inez (Alice in Chains), Kerry King (Slayer), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big), Mike Portnoy (Adrenaline Mob), Victor Wooten (Solo) and many more. "I'm really looking forward to spending some time at the Samson booth this year. It's great to be able to get that close to the fans who support you year after year," says Victor Wooten, a Hartke endorsee for many years.

There will also be a full-band signing with Shinedown on Saturday, January 26, which marks the first time the entire band has done a signing for Samson. This will also mark the first time there will be a Metal Masters signing at NAMM with members from all four previous Metal Masters lineups represented in one massive signing.

In addition to the impressive signing schedule, Hartke endorsees Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy), Stu Hamm (Independent) and Victor Wooten (Solo), as well as Zoom endorsees Kiko Loureiro (Solo) and Richie Kotzen (Solo), will be performing at the booth throughout the show.

"We've always been fortunate as a company to have so many incredible musicians as part of our family," says Mark Menghi, Samson's Director of Marketing. "NAMM is the time of year where we can all come together, hang out with the fans and show off some of the new products that we're excited about this year."
