Samantha Whates

A delightful Danish/Scottish double bill. Ida Wenøe is an indie-folk artist of the highest calibre, with tinges of Americana and a Nordic inflection, the sum of the musical parts creating a rare beast and a thing of great beauty. She received a Danish Folk Awards nomination for 'Songwriter Of The Year' after her debut album Time Of Ghosts. Her latest album The Things We Don't Know Yet has received critical success for her Nordic Noir heritage with hints of Americana & English Folk. Samantha Whates is a London based singer -songwriter whose heart, voice & songs retain a strong affinity with her Scottish roots, cultivating a sound that is thoroughly contemporary, rooted in tradition yet uniquely her own. Waiting Rooms is her recently released sophomore album, recorded live entirely on location in various waiting rooms, featuring arrangements & players unique to each space. Whates` songs on Waiting Rooms concern themselves with folk. Everyday stories, here performed in everyday places.
