Continuing a breakthrough year, British-Nigerian R&B/Soul singer Samm Henshaw will embark on a North American headline tour this summer. Marking his first proper North American tour since 2019, it kicks off on June 3 at The New Parish in Oakland, CA, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on June 18 at Subterranean in Chicago, IL. General on-sale begins April 8th at 10 AM local time—HERE. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below. He’s on the road in support of his critically applauded debut album, Untidy Soul, out now via AWAL. Listen to the album HERE.

He’s coming to the Songbyrd Music House and Record Cafe June 16th!

Samm recently wrapped a packed and acclaimed UK run. He shared a performance video of fan favorite “Take Time” (Live at Shepherds Bush Empire London), capturing the electrifying vibe of these recent shows. Watch it HERE.

Upon release, Untidy Soul has earned unanimous critical plaudits. NME rated it “4-out-of-5” stars and raved, “Henshaw invokes the likes of Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Etta James, infusing the tracklist with gospel-soul, his church-choir background bringing heart to the project.” The Guardian proclaimed, “This is an album about modern notions of selfhood—fallibility, hypocrisy, self-improvement and self-worth,” VIBE observed, “Untidy Soul rounds out with a run of introspective tracks that may have you in complete tears by the end, where Henshaw speaks to the notion of still being broken emotionally before finding joy—sweet, complete bright joy.”

Untidy Soul will be available on vinyl April 29. Pre-order—HERE.

Tracks from Untidy Soul have already gathered nearly 12 million streams driven by fan favorites such as “Chicken Wings” and “Chicken Wings (Remix)” [feat. Mick Jenkins & Bando] as well as “Still Broke” [feat. Keyon Harold]. It also boasts “Grow,” which Samm recently performed for the first time on The Late Late Show with James Corden. In case you missed it, watch it HERE.

A multifaceted, multi-instrumental artist, Samm is taking a totally honest approach to himself and his music and encourages others to get on board. As his album, Untidy Soul, began to take shape in the way he envisaged, he became more inspired and creative with each day that passed. Working on several things outside of his music including short films, merch and a fashion line to name a few, Samm counted down the days for his debut album to finally surface.

About The Author

Dean Rogers

Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter

I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!

My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.

Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.

As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.

All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
