About
SAMANTHA
Samantha McKaige is a guitar-playing, Americana-singing songwriter deeply rooted in folk and rock, drawing inspiration from the landscapes of her Pacific Northwest home, the beaches of Northern California, and the rivers of the Rockies. Heartache and travel weave through her lyrics, reflecting her love for nature and the outdoors.
Her sophomore LP, "Burning Season", is a devastating 11 song ode to a forlorn heartbreak. From piano ballads to guitar-drive, angry hail marys, Burning Season captures, from start to finish, how it feels to lose a love. It is set to release on May 29th.
As a professional touring artist, Samantha has shared stages with notable artists such as Hunter Hayes, Judah and the Lion, Ethan Regan, The Brazen Youth, Ezra Bell, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Suzzy Roche, and Ethan Tasch.
Samantha performs solo or with a full band of talented musicians, rounding out her sound with electric and steel guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, trumpet, keyboard, backing vocals, and drums. Paired with her originals, Samantha also performs uniquely arranged covers of her favorite musicians, such as Caamp, Pinegrove, Bon Iver, Brandi Carlile, Arms Length, Gregory Alan Isakov, and The Highwomen.
