Samantha Kearney

In mentioning the pool of songwriters and artists comprising today’s music scene Samantha Kearney represents the minority of women that have infiltrated the innovative, active and credible sector of the movement.

In a nutshell she is an observant, world-aware and truth-speaking woman, backed-up by a strongly-held and competently wielded guitar. The voice of the guitar in this case is also as relevant as the words spoken from her mouth. Her music is a combination of hard-hitting riffs, tight rhythms and gentle, tasty chords, layered with highly poetic, visual and insightful lyrics delivered with memorable melody. The main drive behind Sam’s musical output is the outlet it provides in terms of expression, creation, escapism and communication. She finds the art form extremely cathartic. The performance aspect is equally significant for her due to the enjoyment she finds in entertaining people and the manner in which it thirst-quenches the introverted extrovert side of her personality.

Sam has always had an immense passion for music and holds it high in importance based on its potency as an ultimate form of communication, soundtrack and mirror to life. She has up until present performed her music solo with guitar, occasional backing vocals are provided by friend and fellow writer Sam Leigh. The most recent development for the 2006 setup is the addition of Bass Guitar and second harmonies by girlfriend and musician Jo Bywater, with a pending inclusion of percussion. Sam is currently experimenting with sounds, instruments and effects on her songs in the next phase of growth and is currently planning gigs for this year whilst writing and recording new material
