Samantha Talora is a versatile vocalist, concert and cabaret artist whose dynamic repertoire spans the Great American Songbook, Broadway, Blues and Classical music.

She has been selected by film and theater composer and songwriter, David Friedman, as the principal singer and interpreter of his vast songbook. In December 2024, she made her NYC solo debut at Don’t Tell Mama in NYC, with Trust the Wind - The Music of David Friedman, with encore performances in May and December 2025. BroadwayWorld raves, “…a stunning voice—crystal clear, every note clean and intentional, soaring effortlessly through the highs and resonating with rich depth in the lows.  Her stage presence is joyful and poised, her banter both charming and incisive…infusing every song with truth and vulnerability.”
