The cold rain failed to keep the crowd away from Off Broadway last night.

Samantha Crain is a traveling soul. Whether touring with her band the Midnight Shivers or lending her voice to another band's recording (Small Houses, Night Reports), Crain will most likely be passing through your town.

Three outstanding acts played to a sold-out room at Off Broadway last night. Samantha Crain started off the night with pared-down versions of her songs, accompanied only by Daniel Foulks on fiddle. The Oklahoma natives did not disappoint, and warmed the crowd up nicely for what was to come.

Midwesterner Samantha Crain offers the listener her take on folk while mixing in indie rock to keep the sound fresh yet approachable. The Oklahoma-based singer-songwriter made an appearance on Mystery Train with host Tim to play a few songs from her new record.

Samantha Crain and the Midnight Shivers don't just play music -- they play poetry. With songs that are alternately melancholy and hopeful, the band communicates angst without becoming angsty. Hear their live performance on Coin-Operated Radio.
