Biography
Sam Gary was born and raised on a large grain farm on the windy prairies of southern Alberta, Canada. He met his wife, Joan Marie (Frey), in Rochester, Minnesota, exactly the halfway point between Alberta, Canada, and Pennsylvania, and together they have raised three daughters and one son. Sam has always loved new adventures and exploring new business avenues. He has been a hands-on farmer, erected grain bins and feed mills all across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, built pontoon boats, and has obtained his crane operator’s license and his pilot’s license. He has been a good father, a Bible student, a welder, musician, counselor, and salesman. And all along this amazing journey, he has been writing songs, short stories, and memories of his childhood and growing up years. (Check out Google - The Sam Gary Band Lands in the Top 20 charts, Gets Picked by CMA as ‘Who New To Watch in 2009.) Writing is in his blood because he’s always been a storyteller and just can’t help himself. This book, “Son Of A Seacook,” is born of memories and laughter and incredible authentic experiences that cry out to be shared with the world. You won’t be disappointed.

My company in Canada was Roman builders. We built commercial grain elevators all over Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Our band was given a five-year contract with century 2 entertainment. We played mostly in prisons across Canada, all over the states, and many shows in Central America. I can remember like it was yesterday relaxing with fruit in Belize after doing concerts that were over 4 hrs at a time. The longest we ever played was from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
Over my years, we've flown from the outer banks of NC to French Valley CA, from the far North tundra of Canada, deep into Central America, and hundreds of places in between.
