Samantha Savage Smith

Samantha Savage Smith, a talented singer-songwriter hailing from Calgary, Alberta, has captivated audiences with her unique blend of jazz, blues, and indie rock influences. Her musical journey began in the late 2000s, where she performed locally, showcasing her remarkable voice and songwriting skills.

After a period of self-doubt regarding her work, Samantha took a sabbatical from music. During this time, she was discovered by local record producer Lorrie Matheson, who recognized her potential after listening to her early demos. This pivotal moment led to the development and recording of her debut album, Tough Cookie, which was released in two thousand eleven.

Initially launched through the Alberta-based independent label Western Famine, Tough Cookie later gained wider recognition when it was reissued across Canada with distribution by Arts & Crafts. Samantha's performances at notable events, such as the Calgary Folk Music Festival in two thousand ten and Toronto's North by Northeast festival in two thousand eleven, further solidified her presence in the Canadian music scene.

In early two thousand twelve, she embarked on a cross-Canada tour to promote Tough Cookie, sharing her music with fans from coast to coast. Samantha Savage Smith continues to be a prominent figure in the music industry, known for her distinctive sound and heartfelt lyrics.
