There's a line on Honey, the latest album from Nashville-via-NYC songwriter Samia, about Aspen Grove, a collection of 40,000 trees in the plains of North America, all connected by a single expansive root system. There's no stronger metaphor for the audience the 25-year-old empathy engine has been generating since she began releasing music seven years ago. Her songs, her fans, her friends: one enormous, interconnected ecosystem.
Honey, comprised of eleven new moments of catharsis, is by and for that organism. Set for release on January 23rd 2023 via Grand Jury Music, the album was recorded at North Carolina studio Betty's -- owned and operated by Sylvan Esso's Nick Sandborn and Amelia Meath. It was produced by Caleb Wright, part of the team that helmed Samia's breakthrough 2020 debut The Baby, and a founding member of one of Samia's favorite bands, The Happy Children. It features some of her nearest and dearest friends: Christian Lee Hutson, Briston Maroney, Jake Luppen, Raffaella. Its songs were surreptitiously road tested for her devotees while opening for Lucy Dacus, Courtney Barnett, and more.
The end result is what Samia calls simply "a real community record."
"We tried to be as honest as possible and keep the songs as raw as possible," Samia said. "We talked a lot about zooming out and zooming in, giving a lot of weight to the small moments and considering them as part of a big picture, how they factor into everything else that's happening in the world."

One of the few experiences I’ve had where I love an artist / band a million times more after seeing them live… Samia and the band absolutely crushed it. Please keep Charleston SC on your future tour dates!!
Always a good time at the House of Blues. Music was great, would see her again!
This was my partner and I’s first time at the House of Blues! We came because Samia is one of my favorite artists and she did not disappoint. She sounded EXACTLY like she does on her albums and she had so much energy throughout the show. At several points throughout the show I teared up because her voice was so beautiful. I hope to see her again soon!
Truly a wonderful time at HOB this weekend. Saw Samia with friends and staff were so helpful and friendly!
Her voice, her music, the energy, everything was better than i could have ever hoped for. And Tommy Lefroy KILLED IT as well.
one of the best shows I've ever attended, it was so cathartic and Samia is a stunning performer
So glad to see Samia this early in her career - she is a star. Protect her at all cost. I’m excited to see what she does next!
Annie DiRusso opened for Samia and put on a great performance in general. However all of the energy leading up to Samia was so great which made every part of this show an unforgettable experience. Once Samia came on, her energy was magnetic. She was so kind, so personal, and made the whole crowd feel like her best friend. She makes eye contact with people in the crowd, has an amazing stage performance, and cultivates good energy all together with her band. Towards the end Annie DiRusso got on stage again, and her and Samia sang together. That was really beautiful. Probably one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, and know I am dying to see Samia live again. <3
Samia is full of so much energy, passion, and talent. Her quirky nature adds to the experience. She constantly interacts with the audience and makes each show so special. Plus, her voice is stunning and her band is so talented. She’s a must see!
