About this Event
Sam Herrera is a Mexican singer-songwriter and recent graduate of Columbia College Chicago, where she earned a degree in Contemporary, Urban, and Popular Music. Her work as a songwriter blends folk-pop and Latin styles, such as bolero, salsa, and milonga, and draws inspiration from the great composers of Latin America, like Armando Manzanero, Juan Gabriel, and contemporary songwriters such as Natalia Lafourcade and Silvana Estrada.
In 2023, Sam released her debut EP Diecinueve, a collection of songs exploring identity, growth, and emotional honesty. Beyond her solo work, she has participated in multiple collaborative projects across styles. She is currently diving into the classics of Hispanic and Latin music, further enriching her artistry through the exploration of traditional sounds and repertoire.
Alternative tragic Americana, invocations for peace & judgment reshaping with bleeding heart stream of consciousness poems. Anna May is an eclectic artist whose songs bear a placelessness that lends to their timeless nature. The deep exploration of heartbreak and trauma has been an ongoing quest throughout Anna's work. Her lyrics have been heavily textured by a lonesome whimsicality that finds itself most at home in the vastness of the American West or in landscapes of stark frontiers. Anna's music honors the nomadic spirit with memory, meditation & fresh interpretations of folk music and jazz influence. She honors a hope to enhance connection, humility, healing, and joy among people in the process of parting with typical genre rules.
