ABOUT SAM

With a voice that silences rooms and songs that cut straight to the bone, Sam has spent years building one of Australia's most devoted live followings.

She’s lapped the country six times on sold out headline tours and jumped on tour with some of the countries biggest names like Paul Kelly, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Whitlam’s and Ben Lee. She’s also played at Woodford, Wild Village and Queenscliff Music Festivals and toured with the Festival of Small Halls.

Her new album BEAUTIFUL MACHINE — a cross-Pacific collaboration with Australian-born Nashville-based producer Clare “LOLLIES” Reynolds — debuted at #4 on the ARIA charts.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Sam wrote the songs for Beautiful Machine on hikes, beach walks, lying on the couch in her underwear and on long drives to see her family (while someone else was driving, of course), and says they mark a new chapter in her songwriting career, and in her life.

“I’ve been falling deeper in love with my body and the Earth” says Sam. “In a time when we’re seemingly obsessed with building ‘bigger and better’ technology, all I can think about is how the natural world is so brilliantly designed — it’s the most beautiful machine we’ll ever have. So this album is a love letter to myself, my body, the earth and all of humanity. As we keep progressing, my only wish is that we remember we ARE the natural world — and we must care for ourselves and each other accordingly.”

The Beautiful Machine tour treats audiences to intimate acoustic versions of crowd favourites from DEAR JOHN, Cyclone and Quiet Revolution, alongside the stunning new songs — brought to life using Ableton Push to sample sounds from the album and live loop her vocals.

Her voice commands a room. Her stories will reach inside your soul. Her songs have been described by fans as “poetry” and “life changing.”

This is not background music — this is the kind of show where the room goes quiet (really quiet), and something passes between the stage and the audience that’s hard to explain but impossible to forget.
