Event information
Oklahoma meets Nashville in this Country/Americana double-bill touring the UK in summer 2023.
Carter Sampson is a multi award-winning singer/songwriter born and raised in Oklahoma. She tours nationally and internationally, playing both solo and with her trio and band, and has performed in the UK many times.
Blessed by a musical family legacy that includes none other than the great Roy Orbison, she’s released five studio albums to date, with her last two albums Wilder Side and Lucky attracting much international acclaim.
‘Lucky proves Sampson deserves all the success that will continue to come her way’ No Depression
‘High-quality songwriting and gorgeous vocals – she’s one of the best around’ American Roots UK
She will be releasing her sixth album, Gold, before the tour, with singles due in January and March: ‘I first started working with Kyle Reid in 2017 when he came into the studio to record some pedal steel on Lucky. Kyle and I recorded side one of Gold at my house – he brought over a car load of recording equipment and set up shop in my living room. I’ve never been so comfortable in a record-making situation. Then Covid hit and we recorded the B-side in a socially-distant studio with cords and cables running in and out of windows…’
She’s also the founder and director of The Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls OKC, a non-profit volunteer organisation set up in Oklahoma to empower girls and women through music education.
Her road to international success has been a long one but, as she puts it:
‘I feel like I am right where I am supposed to be, and doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing.’
Over the last couple of decades, Nashville’s Amelia White has built a folk-pop catalogue that's as unfussy as it is consistent in quality and full of insinuating hooks.
In January 2022, Rolling Stone named the title track of her Rhythm of the Rain album as one of the top-ten Country/Americana songs. BBC Ulster’s Ralph McLean was impressed too: There's some great songwriting on this. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.’
The album also garnered a top-ten record pick by the UK’s Daily Telegraph, and Americana UK said: ‘This is the real deal, full of juicy tunes – the woman just oozes cool. With an album as good as this, it's truly an appointment not to be missed, a chance to see East Nashville's finest at the top of her game. Take it.’
September 2022 saw her release album number eight, Rocket Rearview, which will be followed before this tour by Love I Swore, a powerhouse of a record produced by Nashville legend Kim Richey
