Samantha is one of my top finds since beginning to scour the music scene for relatively unknown artists with high levels of talent. Between her regular gigs at L.A. music showcase, The Mint. Her regular podcast on www.SamanthaMurphy.com and her songwriting, she has found time to appear on The Tonight Show, Be Sponsored by Gibson Guitars and put together one of the finest pop/female vocal CD’s of the past few years. Samantha has a spectacular voice and every time I re-listen to her new CD I keep being amazed at just how enjoyable it is. The Songs on Somewhere between Starving and Stardom chronicle the joys and challenges that anyone who has ever tried to live a creative lifestyle in this country can strongly relate to. Her approach is always upbeat in a way that shows off sparkling talent rather than lamenting over the hardships facing creative artists in our over commercialized music environment. Samantha is gracious enough to come and play for us here in Chattanooga on Saturday Sept. 24 in a solo performance along with Justin Karpinos at Barking Legs, and again on Oct. 15, along with Jennifer Brantley and The Little Country Giants at The Barking legs theatre.
