Band Members: samantha jones, samantha jones, samantha jones. my initial idea was that i would play these songs with whomever and it would be this evolving band/project thing. and it's still kind of like that, so sometimes i'll play on my own, sometimes with just a few friends singing, or with various random instumentation.
Sounds Like: when i was a tyke, every afternoon for naptime my mother put me in a waterbed and put on a hank williams sr. album to get me to sleep. it was always the same record; we were pretty poor. she believes that recessive genes were passed on from my grandad to me... he played french horn at berkely school of music and she couldn't carry a note. as i grew up we got more records. before i could really talk i was singing along with janis joplin, billie holliday, grace slick, the beatles, roberta flack, bob dylan, and the monkees. some of my recent faves are mirah, joanna newsome, bonnie prince billy, iron and wine, the microphones, and the mountain goats. i'm sure all of these influences are woven into the songs i write, but i don't think it sounds like exactly anything in particular.
