Sam Blasucci, known as one half of the roots-rock duo Mapache, steps into his own with Off My Stars, a solo record shaped by personal reflection and new inspirations. Swapping his signature guitar for a piano he rescued from a friend, Blasucci found a fresh approach to songwriting, drawing from his time in New Orleans and his journey into adulthood. With heartfelt originals and stripped-down covers, including Dido’s “Thank You” and Cranberries’ “Linger,” Blasucci’s debut is a sincere, autobiographical glimpse into one of L.A.’s underground talents.
