SAMMYJO
Is the artist that will truly write what she wants.
She plays drums and sings at the same time as well as being up front this year! The live shows are NOT to be missed and will blast anyone to the floor, literally!
The Band consists of some excellent backing musicians to help provide SammyJo with the support to bring you the one and only sound and performance you've all come to know and love!!!
A Female Anthemic Powerpop sound BLASTING out of Chesterfield, Derbyshire CHALLENGING the current crop of British music with something amazingly different .
SAMMYJO Formally Eskimo Brit, is a female singer / drummer / songwriter a native of Chesterfield near Sheffield (North England). She started listening to Rock, Motown, Pop and Country extensively as a child and when she was 15 she acquired her first drum kit.
SammyJo attended SXSW in 2006 and on returning to the UK the sound was born and has evolved through 2006 and 2007 resulting in what you can hear on her myspace site and on attached mp3 files.
New songs are constantly being written and material has been recorded throughout 2007 including 2 tracks recorded at the Steelworks studio in Sheffield along with SammyJo doing some excellent co' writing with Producers and songwriters know as 'TableSauce'
SammyJo is planning 2008 to be a little bit different and while she will still be taking her music out on the road it will include her being up front of the band!!
January 2008 finds SammyJo in Norway where 4 of her new tracks are being produced at the 'Dsign' studios where she found the inimitable sound she found when she recorded 'CRUSH'! She has written the most close to her heart lyrics and really cemented her own sound.
This truly is SammyJo uncut and Raw.
