Our friend Douglas Caballero pulled our coat about Samantha Shelton. We heard: song on the Inglorious Basterds soundtrack, plays with a saw player, bass player, tap dances, and we were sold. She went beyond our expectations, especially when we met her outside our door doing an impromptu session in the courtyard with the mailman. Check out her voice – it’s amazing, and perfect with a cocktail. The Holland Razorblade that Eugene from the Varnish made did provide some minor complications… as Sam put it, “it’s hard to sing after drinking cayenne pepper.” But it proved to be harder not to drink, cos she didn’t want to give it up at the end of the song. xoxo menaka Samantha Shelton - Vocals Johnny Polonsky - Guitar Oliver Newell - Bass Katie Lowes - background vocals Johnny Sneed - Drums Mixologist - Eugene Shaw samanthashelton.net wilcoxsessions.com dickthompsonpresents.com
