Widely regarded as one of the best blues, jazz and folk singers in New York City, Samoa began singing jug band music with her uncle Jim Kweskin at 12 years of age. She has been captivating audiences ever since.
Her choice of repertoire makes the difference: torchy and honeyed renditions of haunting little-known tunes from a woman’s perspective. The Boston Herald proclaims “...a deep understanding of the early era of recorded pop…a gorgeous, fun sound.”
TCCC hosted Samoa and Jim four years ago. We welcome her back as a solo performer, exploring gospel, ballads, blues, and swinging jazz standards.
