Los Angeles bassist, composer, and producer (Wikipedia). USC Thornton inaugural popular-music classmate of Luke Walton; bass on Rozzi Crane’s 2010 self-booked California coast tour band, Walton’s Luke Walton Band lineup with Wilkes subbing for Nick Campbell. Collaborator hub for Luke F. Walton and Scoobert Doobert credits with Sam Wilkes. Status on site: partial. 2010 self-booked coast tour is the work with Luke Walton on this site; later Crane/Wilkes and solo career via Wikipedia and samwilkes.net. Sam Wilkes (born July 22, 1991) studied R&B and funk at USC Thornton’s Popular Music Program under Patrice Rushen and Leon “Ndugu” Chancler, in the inaugural cohort with Luke Walton and Rozzi Crane (Wikipedia; The New Yorker on Wilkes & Gendel). Summer 2010: Walton and Crane’s first tour together, a self-booked run up the California coast (San Diego → San Francisco). The Luke Walton Band played one bill; Crane’s band was the same Walton lineup with Wilkes on bass (Logan Shrewsbury drums, Peter Lee Johnson violin, Walton guitar; Nick Campbell on bass on the LP and Thornton showcase clips, not this road leg). Public record after Thornton (Wikipedia): Wilkes became Crane’s bassist and musical director; 2015 Maroon V Tour with Crane; Scary Pockets, Knower (with Louis Cole and Sam Gendel), solo albums including Wilkes (2018) and Driving (2023), and collaborative Music for Saxofone & Bass Guitar series on Leaving Records. No co-released studio credit with Walton appears on this site. With Luke Walton: 2010 California coast tour (self-booked) (San Diego → San Francisco · Crane band = LWB with Wilkes bass · Walton + Crane’s first tour · student-booked). With Rozzi Crane (post-tour public record): Rozzi Crane (Wikipedia: bassist from 2009) (Met 2009 · later musical director · 2015 Maroon V Tour · not a Walton co-release).
