Oklahoma is a real hotbed of good music and no-one knows that better than the self-crowned ‘Queen of Oklahoma’ Carter Sampson, who will be touring the UK with her full band this spring.Born and raised in the central state, Sampson writes relatable and honest songs about family, love, life and historical characters. She’s released six albums with her two latest records being released on the influential Horton record label. Her last album, Gold, spent many months on the Americana Music Charts.
She tours internationally, and has had much success playing regularly in Europe and the UK:
‘I really love playing in the UK. I joke about it a lot but American audiences are generally loud and don’t listen very well – English audiences are so quiet and kind.’
Carter won first place in the Chris Austin Songwriting contest at Merlefest, NC, and has performed at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest and the Lincoln Center in NYC.
Carter Sampson is recording her first solo live album at The Blue Door listening room in Oklahoma City this November – the album will be her seventh, and will be released in January 2025, two months before her UK tour starts.
Sampson’s high-quality songwriting and gorgeous vocals show she can now be talked about as being one of the very best around. If Wilder Side sowed the seeds, her tremendous new album Gold brings that talent into full bloom’‘Americanarootsuk.com
