Heavily influenced by blues, jazz, and indie rock but still such a mix of everything you won't be sure who the real baby's daddy is. Sparse, stripped-down accompaniments support pretty melodies and strong, personal lyrics.
Biography
Samantha Savage Smith is a Calgary-based singer-songwriter, who released her debut album, “Tough Cookie” in April 2011. After a few years honing her craft on the West Coast and subsequently returning to her hometown in the spring of 2009, Samantha continued writing and performing new songs inspired by her love of classic interpreters such as Anita O’Day and Billie Holiday as well as present-day songsmiths like St. Vincent and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.
Shortly after posting demos online and playing a handful of extremely well-received shows, word spread quickly in the Calgary indie scene of the young singer-songwriter’s immense talent. The online demos caught the ear of local producer Lorrie Matheson (Rae Spoon, Ghostkeeper), who was struck by her achingly beautiful voice, melodies and lyrics. After seeing her perform live, he saw the potential in Samantha for a long and fruitful career. He offered his services to assist her in the next step - the production of an album that would showcase her personal and poignant songs and the voice that delivers them.
“Tough Cookie” was recorded in 2010 at Matheson's Arch Audio studio in Calgary. Backed by Chris Dadge, Scott Munro and Brooker Buckingham (who have lent their talents to recordings and live shows by Chad Van Gaalen, Rae Spoon, Ghostkeeper, Fake Cops and Woodpigeon), and featuring the back-up vocals of the Dudes' Dan Vacon, the album incorporates her love of torch songs, classic blues, R&B and rock music.

Sultry boy girl duets weave through newstyle prog-folk. This cello, guitar, drum trio pulls unexpected beat memories from the places your heart has heard before.
“The
trio's music brings to mind flights of fancy and road trips through the
mountains. Sweet melodies and light orchestration from Anaïs coupled
with Geiger’s plucky folk equals a musical delight.” – TransCanada
Alberta Music Series – February 2010
"Raleigh, create
beautifully layered songs that are as delicate as they are
sophisticated. Tight vocal harmonies interweave and counterpoint with
instrumental arrangements that sound far
larger than their lineup might indicate. Geiger and Anaïs’ lyrics are
both literate and accessible, creating an entire storybook world where
characters are well rounded and familiar, traveling through settings
that are all their own." - (Beatroute Magazine)
“Cello, guitar and drums, melded into a sound solid enough to make them stand out from the pack.” - (The Wounded Jukebox)
"A More Thoughtful, Elegant Indie: Raleigh released its debut album, a
wondrous opus with original musical motifs in droves. Clea Anaïs, Brock
Geiger, and Matt Doherty blend cello, guitar, and drums to create little
gems of aural and literary pulchritude." - (the Voice Magazine)
"Without question, the indie/folk anthems Raleigh pen are beautiful,
but they aren’t suffocated by their own preciousness. Jazzy numbers like
“Marrow” and slow burners like the LP closer, “Savant” are laced with
quirky transitions and Waits like percussion clanks. Unlike so many
bands that prefer a softer voice and hushed tones, the results speak
volumes." - (Herohill)
