Sam Stoane Gives A Nod To Her Western Roots On Debut Project ‘Tales Of The Dark West’

May 23, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Rising artist Sam Stoane has released her debut album Tales of the Dark West via Cloverdale Records today (May 23).

Stoane draws from her western heritage and California roots for the new collection, creating a project that is personal and universal. Each track on Tales of the Dark West serves as a steady, heartfelt exploration of the places, histories and experiences that have shaped her journey. From the sun-bleached ranch lands of her upbringing to the rugged landscapes of her modern-day life in the saddle, Stoane blends her history into songs that showcase who she is.

“This record is the perfect depiction of who I am and what my music is about,” says Stoane. “It’s a tribute to where I come from, the stories that have been passed down to me, and the moments that continue to shape my life today.”

Tales of the Dark West Track List:
1. “Intro” (Patrick Lyons)
2. “Coyote Cries” (Samantha Stoane, Austin Plaine)
