SAMCORI EPK
“Retro charm, modern sensibility, visionary humor… Samcori is Joan Rivers, Robin Williams, Betty White, Freddie Mercury, and Sarah McLachlan combined.”
-Lukas Olver, Booker/Talent Buyer, Snohomish Pride
Samcori has been turning heads for years as a powerfully soulful and outrageous singer/songwriter. Fans say her evocative, often hilarious songs are unforgettable, which is why she has earned a loyal following in the northwest and beyond, opening for rapper TI at Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Club and headlining for major acts throughout the Pacific Northwest. Her sets consist of primarily original music, including hits “Douche Bag”, “Oh Lucy”, and “Dad Bod”, but she also has a passion for creating unique interpretations of classic songs. Some of her signature covers include:
This Must Be the Place - Talking Heads
Bell Bottom Blues - Eric Clapton
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Maybe I’m Amazed - Paul McCartney
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
Samcori has been compared to Amy Winehouse, Grace Slick, Carol Burnett, Regina Spektor, and Adele. She has a broad range, one moment playing a rapid, wild, seductive piano rap, and the next a quiet, ethereal tear-jerking ballad. She can create a full set that is entirely PG or entirely R, depending on the venue and vibe.

“Sam Cori will lift you off the ground in a whirlwind of frantic glassy piano anthems of sardonic poetry then throttle you back into the cold earth with a voice so commanding and haunting, converting everyone in the room into devoted souls of a fresh voice.
Taylor Who? Sam Cori is the real heartbreaker you have been waiting for!”
