Daniel Romano / Samantha Crain

Not quite country, Americana, folk, songwriter or pop, Daniel Romano's exquisite and expansive new album, If I've Only One Time Askin', due July 31 on New West Records, is pieces of each, but ultimately the work of a singular mind. Self-produced and largely self-performed in his hometown Welland, Ontario, a picturesque water town near Niagara, the album features Romano's baritone croon and poetic hard luck storytelling set atop an expanded palette filled with sweeping strings, blasts of horn, stately piano, twangy pedal steel, an 808 drum machine and swaths of accordion.

The first single "The One That Got Away (Came Back Today)," which premiered via Rolling Stone who described the album as "countrypolitan crooning, honky-tonk heartache and mid-century melodrama."

On Kid Face, her third full-length release, Samantha Crain worked with musician/producer John Vanderslice and recorded in his San Francisco studio, Tiny Telephone in June, 2012. The 11 tracks, all penned by Crain, showcase her extraordinary confidence as a singer, a musician, and a gifted storyteller, rendered with a blue-collar authenticity. The Shawnee, OK bred, Choctaw Indian exudes a maturity, grace and gravitas that goes beyond her years. Crain's new record Under Branch & Thorn & Tree is due out July 2015 on Ramseur Records.

"Samantha Crain writes folk music, but she belts out notes like she's singing R&B. Her rich alto...is enough to raise gooseflesh..." - Rolling Stone
