Sam Lohs
Personal website: www.myspace.com/samlohs
Melbourne based Sam Lohs has been a lead singer/ songwriter of the internationally acclaimed and fiercely independent Australian Band, Fruit, who celebrate their 12 year anniversary as one of Australia's most popular international touring acts.
Due to popular demand for Sam's outstanding songwriting and electrifying live performance, she has recently released her highly anticipated second solo album, We Trip Over Things.
Sam's stunning song writing and delivery is poignant, hilarious and engaging and is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell & Ani DiFranco. Sam is strumming proof that you don't need a hit TV series or serious multinational dollars to succeed. Like fellow troubadours The Waifs, John Butler and Ani DiFranco, Sam Lohs and Fruit have taken the road less traveled, covering millions of miles, and now focusing on her infectious solo performance, raising roofs and winning converts internationally.
Sam has won many awards including "Best Live Album" for Fruit's 'Live at the Basement' cd at the Australian Live Music Awards.
Over the years, Sam & Fruit have shared stages with the likes of Jewel, Chris Isaak, The Indigo Girls and many more. They have won over punters, selling out rooms and smashing CD sales records at Festivals across Canada and in more than 40 US states.
Recent Australian festivals include FRL (Folk Rhythm & Life) and The Falls Festival. A few highlights on Sam's 12 year career in Australian Sensation Fruit: Fruit set a sales record at the WOMAD in Seattle, where they sold 680 CDs in two days. They also did a roaring trade at WOMAD Reading, the Vancouver Folk Festival, Bethlehem MusikFest, the Canmore Music Festival and the Owen Sound Summer Fest. In a musical climate where the word "independent" is tossed about a bit too freely, Fruit truly define independence from running their own record label to unloading their own equipment and to planning their own future.
These days you can catch Sam performing her own solo shows both nationally, and internationally, and touring with singer/songwriter Rosie Burgess, on drums and vocals.
