A genre-fluid singer-songwriter and musician based in St. Louis, Samantha Clemons is hard to pin down; but better that than being boxed in. Her soul-soaked sound finds its roots in the echoes of gospel choirs, jazz and blues rhythms that surrounded her during her childhood, traveling the world as an Army brat. Fresh off a string of buzz-worthy singles released in 2024, Clemons’ EP “Fair Warning” was named one of the best EPs of 2024 by New Noise Magazine. In her lyrics, Samantha offers up razor-sharp observations effortlessly and her ability to make common ground out of thin air is a gift hard-earned and liberally shared with her listeners. At once both deep and delicate, her vivid vibrato drips with emotion and vulnerability. 

As NPR’s Pilar Fitzgerald noted of her 2021 Tiny Desk submission, "Clemons' voice is striking: secured in deep depths in one moment, then bursting like wildfire in the next. And just as complex as her range are her lyrics — the story she tells… is so beautifully imagined." In addition to NPR, Samantha’s music has also been highlighted by Rolling Stone, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Kansas City Star, and Dallas Observer.
