Sam Weaks, a musical artist from Odessa, is known in our community for writing and
producing original music throughout his teenage years. Releasing under the stage name Sam
Allen, he has amassed over 30,000 streams. Now, as a 20-year-old returning to Boston for his
third year at the Berklee College of Music, Sam is releasing a brand new album, entitled
“POLARI.”
Anticipation has been building for the record’s arrival all throughout 2024. Sam released the
lead single “Vibe” in February, followed by the supporting single “Playing God” in April. After
performing in venues from Boston all the way to Spain, Sam spent this past summer playing a
series of eight shows in local venues like Flair Taverna, the Odessa Marriott, Basin Pride
Festival, and more. In his final summer Odessa performance last month, Sam debuted six
brand new unreleased songs, all of which can be heard on the album.
While Sam has written and performed music of many styles from rock to blues, “POLARI”
marks a swift pivot into the pop genre. Sam doesn’t shy away from his signature use of
theatrical themes and experimental sounds, but the record indicates a sharp new style.
Consisting of 18 tracks – with the runtime reaching over an hour – the album tackles struggles
with identity, relationships, and hedonism. The listening experience is designed to invoke a
particular emotional experience, full of personal revelations and anthems worthy of being on
repeat.
A notable song on the record is the eleventh track, “The Playhouse.” Sam sat down to write the
song after learning the news of the Permian Playhouse’s closing in December. As the
Playhouse was a very formative place during his teenage years, Sam hopes that the song will
resonate with members of the community.
Sam is set to headline The POLARI Show at Berklee in Boston this November, where the album
will be performed with Sam’s full crew of bandmates, singers, and dancers. He plans to debut
the filmed concert in Odessa this coming winter
In today’s world, school threats are no joke. In Texas, making a threat against a school is a serious crime with severe consequences. Whether it’s a prank or a false alarm, law enforcement treats these threats with the utmost urgency to protect the safety of students, teachers, and staff.
Texas law considers making a threat, even if it’s not carried out, a felony offense. This can lead to:
– Arrest by law enforcement
– A permanent criminal record
– Heavy fines
– Potential jail time
In addition to legal consequences, students who make these threats can face expulsion, suspension, or other disciplinary actions from their school. Law enforcement in Texas works closely with school officials to ensure that any threat is thoroughly investigated and taken seriously.
Remember, one bad decision can have lifelong consequences. Speak up, stay safe and always report suspicious behavior.
Our schools should be a place for learning, not fear. Let’s work together to keep them safe.
The public can report suspicious behaviors through the iWatch Texas program via the mobile app, online at www.iwatchtx.org (http://www.iwatchtx.org/) or by calling 1-844-643-2251 (tel:1-844-643-2251). All reports are confidential.
UPDATE: Agapito Bernal has not accepted the appointment as Interim City Manager. He will keep his current role as Deputy City Manager. Rest assured, the City will operate as normal.
