Annie Sampson Band

The love of music pervades every note Annie Sampson sings.

Annie Sampson’s unique approach to song – whether a blues, a rock tune, a country & western ballad or a modem folk classic, was honed in her youth in rural Louisiana by singing in Bay Area church and school choirs.

The popular rock group Stoneground recruited her to become lead singer for a series of national and international tours, and with four Warner Brothers albums they played the gamut of venues across every major American and European city and campus.

She has recorded with Elvin Bishop, Taj Mahal, Buddy Miles, Maria Muldaur, Eddie Money and Country Joe MacDonald, as well as performed with Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, Otis Clay, Sammy Hagar, Commander Cody, Steve Miller, Nick Gravenites, Clarence Clemmons, Elvis Costello and the late Jerry Garcia – among others.

Since the mid-1980s, Annie has been leading her own band which performs regularly at Bay Area nightclubs as well as making appearances at special events and art festivals.
