piKINic with Sam Tru

  • KIN 999 West Main Street Ste P101 Boise, ID, 83702 United States (map)

Our very own Sam Tru is back for another piKINic evening. We’ll be open for food and drinks starting at 5:30 pm with the show kicking off at 6. The majority of available seating is on our grassy hillside, so be sure to bring a blanket or low-back chair. All seating is first-come, first-served—though priority for patio seating will be given to those with accessibility needs.

“(Cycle) rocks and rolls, summons the holy ghost and allows Tru space to get down. Let the congregation say, ‘Amen’!”

Idaho raised and Pacific Northwest based singer songwriter Sam Tru has a compelling style all her own. Blending sounds, breaking rules and crossing genres, Tru possesses a voice that is at the same time both new and familiar. Drawing on influences in jazz, soul, Pop and R&B, her incredible vocal talents have been showcased throughout the West at the Festival at Sandpoint, the Bellevue Jazz and Blues Festival, the KIN Summer Concert Series, and in support of artists like Liz Vice, Miles Forte, Biddadat and others. Sam’s debut album ‘Cycle' featuring Grammy Winning bassist Clark Sommers, pianist Justin Nielsen, guitarist Gregory Uhlmann and drummer Matt Carroll reached #1 on Amazon’s Top 100 New Releases, and was played on over 200 radio stations across the globe. The impact of the release culminated as ‘Cycle’ made the Nominating Ballot for the 2021 GRAMMY Awards in multiple categories including Album of the Year, Best New Artist and Song of the Year.
