Samantha McKaige with Bridgette Spinney and EMELISE

A powerful Americana triple-bill brings three remarkable voices together for one unforgettable evening. Headliner Samantha McKaige draws from the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and the Rockies — pairing originals with soulfully arranged covers and a full band featuring steel guitar, banjo, fiddle, and more. Bridgette Spinney channels the golden era of traditional country, bringing heartfelt originals and her full 5-piece band. And rising Denver singer-songwriter Emelise — an old soul with a folk-rock spirit — rounds out a night that spans decades of American roots music.

is a guitar-playing, Americana-singing songwriter deeply rooted in folk and rock, drawing inspiration from the landscapes of her Pacific Northwest home, the beaches of Northern California, and the rivers of the Rockies. Heartache and travel weave through her lyrics, reflecting her love for nature and the outdoors. Her most recent release is a six-song project called “How We Outgrow”. Weaving from acoustic odes such as ‘Both Of My Arms’ to emo-inspired and anguish-driven love letters such as ‘No More Than A Memory’, “How We Outgrow” touches on the complicated push and pull of growing up from the thick of it to the other side looking back. As a professional touring artist, Samantha has shared stages with notable artists such as Hunter Hayes, Judah and the Lion, Ethan Regan, The Brazen Youth, Ezra Bell, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Suzzy Roche, and Ethan Tasch.
