Samantha Stollenwerck

Samantha Stollenwerck was first handed a guitar at the age of 16 after a knee injury from tennis confined her to the couch for 2 months. Her mom, who gave her the guitar, had no idea at the time that she was turning her daughter away from a potential career in tennis, and towards being the future queen of “Cali Soul,” a phrase that Samantha coined to define her unique blend of soulful pop rock.
