About this event

and full band - from Oklahoma

Oklahoma is a hotbed of good music, and no one knows that better than the self-crowned ‘Queen of Oklahoma’ Carter Sampson. She will be touring the UK with her full band from 28 February to 16 March 2025.

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 as a top finalist in their respective songwriting contests.

‘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

‘Sampson sings from the heart. Nothing is sugar coated. She’s as real as her red dirt roots or the red cowboy boots that she proudly wears’ Country Standard Time

‘Really, really special songs; songs that are capable of lifting Ms Sampson to the next level’ Rocking Magpie

‘Heartfelt, sincere, and honest. There’s an inherent happiness that populates a Carter Sampson record and it’s something I’ve truly come to look forward to with each album she’s released’ Americana Highways
