Samantha Whates - "3 Miles Left 'Til Home" - The Crypt Sessions: Episode 11

www.thecryptsessions.com

This week, when we looked through the Crypts magic window, we saw alt-folk singer-songwriter Samantha Whates kicking her heals outside. So naturally, we asked her in for a cuppa and a sing-song.

Samantha was born in Yorkshire, raised in Scotland and the Middle East and now lives in London. She states contemporary Scandinavian music as a big influence, but we reckon her muse is currently residing in a bothy on Scotlands beautiful Western Isles. Her songs, like her voice and guitar playing, are tender, reflective and very pretty. But theres often the suggestion of a wicker man burning in the distance, just to keep you honest.

With one of her songs already picked up by BBC 6 Radios Tom Robinson, Samanthas due to release an album early next year through Natural Studio Records. Were looking forward to it.
