About this event
Carter Sampson brings her 2026 UK tour to Cowley Road's The Library for an unmissable full band show on Saturday 27th June!
Oklahoma is a hotbed of good music and no-one knows that better than the self-crowned ‘Queen of Oklahoma’ Carter Sampson, who returns to the UK for her next tour in June 2026.
Sampson writes relatable and honest songs about family, love, life and historical characters. She’s released seven albums with her album Gold spending many months on the Americana Music Charts.

She tours internationally, and has had much success playing regularly in Europe and the UK:
‘I really love playing in Europe. I joke about it a lot but American audiences are generally loud and don’t listen very well – European audiences are so quiet and kind!’
Carter is also the founder and director of The Rock and Roll Camp for Girls OKC, a non-profit organisation set up in Oklahoma that empowers girls and women through music education. As she describes it:
‘Most of our campers have no or little musical experience and it is truly amazing what these kids achieve in one week. The amount of self-esteem that comes from such an accomplishment is really what it’s all about.’
Carter recorded her first solo live album at The Blue Door listening room in Oklahoma City and this will be on sale at all dates in summer 2026.
‘Sampson sings from the heart. Nothing is sugar coated. She's as real as her red dirt roots or the red cowboy boots that she proudly wears’ - Country Standard Time
‘Sampson deserves all the success that will continue to come her way’ - No Depression
‘Heartfelt, sincere, and honest. There’s an inherent happiness that populates a Carter Sampson record and it’s something I’ve truly come to look forward to with each album she’s released’ - Americana Highways
