Timeline

1962

Sam Lapides (born David Samuel Lapides, August 14, 1962, Irvington, New Jersey) is an American singer-songwriter, known as the guitarist and lead vocalist for the bands Ghosthouse and Folkminers.

He cites Paul Westerberg, The Replacements, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan as influences.

His folk-rock sound has been classified as Americana (music).

Throughout his career, he has produced a variety of recordings and completed numerous tours of the United States and Europe.

As the youngest of five children, Lapides was raised on the East Coast, moving between New Jersey and Maryland.

He settled in Ann Arbor, Michigan where he attended Community High School where he played drums and joined local band The Evaders.

He began playing guitar and started busking on the campus of the University of Michigan.

1987

In 1987, he recruited a band to play his songs.

The Folkminers developed a rapid local following and released a cassette recording and a self-titled EP.

1988

The Folkminers disbanded in 1988 and Lapides moved to Boston and then Los Angeles in pursuit of a music career.

Like on the streets of Ann Arbor and in the subway stations of Boston, Lapides continued the folk tradition of street performance and occasionally played on the boardwalk of Venice Beach.

One day while performing a song by Dream Syndicate, the song's author and indie-rock legend Steve Wynn (songwriter) happened to walk by.

Wynn liked the rendition so much that he decided to produce several songs.

At this time Lapides had just formed his band Ghosthouse.

Another of Lapides’ heroes, ex-Rain Parade guitarist John Thoman, joined the group.

They released their self-titled "Ghosthouse" on Italy's Club de Musique Records.

1994

They toured Europe several times in 1994 and signed with European label Semaphore.

Ghosthouse released their third full-length recording "Thing Called Life" in 1995 on Semaphore.

1996

They toured with label mate Stan Ridgway several times.

1997

The band continued performing and recording until they disbanded in 1997.

During a brief move back to Boston, Lapides put together a band,(featuring noted local bassist Christian T. Bachmann) to record new material for his first solo CD, "Wake up from the Wasteland" on Bluerose Records.

The release was met with critical acclaim and Lapides moved again to Los Angeles.

After another solo CD, "We’ve Walked These Streets" on Inbetweens Records and several European tours and the successful re-release of the original "Ghosthouse" CD, Lapides decided to reform Ghosthouse.
