Sam Harris, winner of the first Star Search television season, will appear at The Rrazz Room, Hotel Nikko, 222 Mason, SF, May 8 and 9, for two late shows at 10:30 PM. Tickets are $35- $40 and can be purchased at www.therrazzroom.com or directly through www.ticketweb.com or 866 468 3399.

Sam's recent role on the CBS comedy, The Class, is the latest incarnation of a career than has spanned more than two decades and run the gamut from singer/songwriter to stage, film, television actor to writer, producer, director. Born in Oklahoma, Sam performed in his first play when he was five and left home at 15 to pursue his career, learning the ropes through regional and repertory theatre. He finished high school through correspondence courses and attended UCLA.

Sam played "every dump and dive in LA" and created his first solo stint, Out of Control, which caught the attention of talent scouts from a television talent show. Sam then became a household name on Star Search in its premiere season. Twenty five million viewers tuned in week after week to see his pop, gospel and theatre brand of emotionally charged performances, finally winning the grand prize and the hearts of America.

His phenomenal "overnight" rise catapulted him into the recording industry, where he sold over a million copies of his first CDs. Concert tours, including a performance at Carnegie Hall, followed, and soon he was in every magazine and talk show.

Broadway called and Sam received a Drama Desk nomination for his role in Tommy Tune's Grease. He then toured in the Broadway National tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Sam next starred in Cy Coleman's The Life, for which he received the Drama-League Award as well as Tony, Outer Critic's Circle and Drama Desk nominations. He has also written sit-coms, musicals and television specials and has just released his 8th CD and is performing in the CBS show, Rules of Engagement. He also has a popular web vlog at SamTube.com.
