Sam Jayne

Sam Jayne is a Country & Americana artist based in Leeds. She has been a regular on the Northern music circuit for almost a decade, enticing listeners up and down the country with her own personal concoction of classic Americana, modern Pop influences, and vintage Rock undertones. Sam Jayne’s music constantly toes the line between sweet and raw, gentle and gritty, drawing influence from the strong female singer-songwriters that shaped her generation - Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, KT Tunstall, and Avril Lavigne to name a few. Performing live with little more than a guitar and a stompbox, she knows how to tell a story the way very few do, infusing intricate diary-entry lyrics with real emotion. Her music has previously graced line-ups that heralded the likes of Newton Faulkner, The Shires, and Lucy Dacus, as well as appearing in live sessions for BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio Oxford. She had toured the UK six times, her most recent jaunt boasting 13 locations across the country. In December 2022, she was named the Girls I Rate Future Hitmaker, and was awarded a songwriter’s fund powered by PRS Foundation and Spotify.
