Sam Kelton has been a South Australian music writer for almost two decades. At both Rip it Up and The Advertiser he cut his teeth meeting and reviewing some of the world’s biggest acts. These days he’s more inclined for a comfortable vantage point at the back of the show rather than jostling for a front-row spot.
