About Me |
|
| Singer/songwriter and flautist Samantha Whates was born in Bridgnorth, Shropshire and spent her formative years in the Middle East, Scotland, and England. She is now based in London where she is a regular on the singer/songwriter circuit, performing at many of the capital’s top venues, including The Electroacoustic Club, Cargo and the Strongroom Bar. Recently, her demo recordings for NSR have been receiving radio airplay, most notably on ‘New Ground’ for KCRW radio, Southern California’s premier independent station. ******************************** ******************************** Samantha Whates plays geetar and has a pretty voice. She rocks harder than a weeble in a hurricane and has the power to make even goffs smile. Funny, clever and mischievous she is the keeper of kelp and funny flavoured vitamin C drops that make you healthy. She like dinosaurs and candy and has more shoes than feet because she only has two of those. She likes old things and shiny things and stuff of many colours which she wears about her person everyday. Especially green. She likes olop’s and dark chocolate but powers up on Iron Bru like a sugary superhero. Samantha likes beer and Ale and tells us tales of Tatties and Neeps and granny’s house and makes us all want to go the land of the Samantha. By Anna Gonzalez 2007 | |

Sounds Like: Though based in London’s East End, Samantha’s music has more in common with contemporary Scandinavian music (Rune Grammofon et al.) where a lot of importance is placed upon the subtleties of tone, timbre and atmospherics. Of equal influence is instrumental and so-called ‘absolute’ music which constantly informs her melodic approach.Her songs are typically reflective, always honest – everyday issues dealt with pensive melancholy, nostalgic yearning and a mature insight that belies her years. Record Label: Natural Studio Records Type of Label: Indie |
