Sam Champion formed in summer, 2002 in New York City as a duo: Noah Chernin (vocals/guitar) and Ryan Thornton (drums/vocals,). The band evolved into a three-piece when bassist Jack Dolgen came aboard in the fall of 2003. After Chernin, Thornton, and Dolgen recorded Sam Champion’s debut album Slow Rewind, Sean Sullivan joined on guitar and vocals, rounding out the quartet. The band is founded on longtime friendships forged over rock & roll music, beer, cheeseburgers, and the rigors of higher education.
