Sam Minaie is a Persian delight.  He originally hails from Reno, Nevada, and fortunately for us, does not have a gambling problem.  But he does have all things that are good, like Bailey's (creamy).  He's Old Gregg!  Sam has been playing for the band for about as long as I've been playing the glockenspiel (not long), but he is an incredible bassist, and a hilarious guy.  Oh!  

My favorite part about playing with Sam is his attitude.  I have my back to him during most of the show, so it's hard for me to know what's going on back there.  You can imagine how reassuring it is to hear from fans that my bassist is "smiling the entire time".  He makes my job easier.  For more information visit www.samminaie.com
