The Hi-Stakes was founded in Amsterdam in 2018 by Sam Ghezzi, a multi-instrumentalist, singer and bandleader of multiple bands touring internationally. In 2024, the band visited Mexico and Brazil, presenting their debut album The Hi-Stakes. In Europe, the band has performed at renowned festivals such as North Sea Jazz Festival and Jamboree Festival, as well as numerous venues and festivals across the continent.

The effect was both stirring and meditative.” – The Spectator 2025 “One of the moments of this year’s festivals. Nothing short of sublime.” – The Herald 2025 Following headline performances in ‘24 at Cambridge Folk Festival and Gate To Southwell with his nine-piece Caley Soul band as well as a sold out bravura show for Celtic Connections at Glasgow’s 1,400 cap Pavillion Theatre, Wilson has spent the last few months reconnecting with his roots in live club performance.
