Samantha Antoinette & The Chargers
Samantha A. Smith – vocals, Kasper "Lefty" Vegeberg – guitar, Søren Schack – guitar, Jakob Kirkegaard Kortbæk – bass, Asmus Jensen – drums
English singer Samantha Antionette began singing at an early age. Her passion for music led her to join the London Community Gospel Choir, where she was one of the lead singers for 21 years. Here she honed her musical skills and developed her voice (and infectious charm).
She has performed with Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Lionel Ritchie, Mariah Carey, George Michael, Westlife, Blur and Depeche Mode, as well as a wide range of European bands.
Throughout her 35-year career, she has also been associated with musicals and opera for several years. However, she feels that it is now time to focus on her blues career, which has always been her passion. In her outgoing show, she always leaves the audience captivated and hooked! She is known for “throwing her shoes” and dancing barefoot on stage!
Samantha's regular band is the Danish "The Chargers" consisting of Kasper "Lefty" Vegeberg, who has played with Alan Haynes, Kai Strauss, Chad Strentz, RJ Mischo, Big Joe Louis and others.
Drummer Asmus Jensen has lived and played in Texas for many years and was a regular for Omar & The Howlers and Earl Thomas. Rasmus has also worked with gems such as Lou Ann Barton and the Danish Delta Blues Band.
Jakob Kirkegaard Kortbæk on bass has backed Big Creek Slim, RJ Mischo, Dexter Shaw, Chad Strentz, Johnny Burgin and Sweet Marta.
The team has been reinforced for the occasion with the young, up-and-coming guitarist Søren Schack, who has played/is playing with Big O & The Blue Quarters, Big Creek Slim, Katrin Schmidt and Gorm Bull/Palle Hjort.
