Carter Samson v The Hawth
Carter Sampson is an Okie-born singer/songwriter with a big voice. The Oklahoma City-based artist is blessed by a musical family legacy that includes talents like Roy Orbison.
Her creativity has matured into a dedicated and passionate performer that makes her a favourite female vocalist.
Carter’s empowering music appeals to a wide range of folk, who are incredibly and admirably loyal to her and her work. She’s the founder and director of Oklahoma City’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls, which always partners with nonprofit organisations that empower girls and women through music education.
The inspiring artist averages about 220 shows annually – in areas like Oklahoma and Arkansas, as well as Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. She completed a successful tour of Europe in 2016, which included an appearance at the Maverick Festival. But as the self-penned ‘Queen of Oklahoma,’ Sampson’s red boots are happy when they’re on her home turf.
Her third album, ‘Good for the Meantime’, was released in 2008. Then in 2011, she recorded a five-track acoustic EP, ‘Thirty Three’, at Treelady Studios in Pittsburgh/Turtle Creek, Penn.
Her fourth full-length studio album, ‘Wilder Side’, was released in 2016, is a soulful and soft country masterpiece. Focusing on themes of heartbreak and the open road, Wilder Side is the kind of pure country record that has far more in common with classic releases from the likes of Patsy Cline and Emmylou Harris than it does with anything one will find on country radio. Fellow Oklahoma artists Ali Harter and John Moreland made appearances on the record lending their distinctive voices, perfectly complementing Sampson's beautifully sorrowful vocals. And that more than anything is what drives this record, Sampson's breathtaking voice. Like ‘Good for the Meantime’ it features the heady handy work of producer/multi-instrumentalist Travis Linville, who, like Sampson, has a unique sound all his own.
