Her songs cover a wide range of genres - it's well worth listening to a few to get the full picture - but they all have an unusual quality of honesty, depth and humour very much belonging to the craft of songwriting and what it takes to move someone, mixing heartfelt story-telling with catchy melodies and clever quirky lyrics. Her voice is emotive and charismatic, sweet seductive tones that break your heart one minute and make you laugh the next.

Live she makes you feel that the songs are written and performed just for you, even in a crowd of thousands. Sam Batt's unique sound lives in the spaces between Chrissie Hynde, Edie Brickell, Ani DeFranco and more traditional acoustic flavours of artists like Cat Stevens and Joni Mitchell. Vocally she has a raw, dynamic quality akin to Cerys Matthews or Stevie Nicks, but essentially Sam Batt sounds like Sam Batt.
