I Used to Be Sam (CH)

Annie Goodchild is now I Used to Be Sam, because after anAncestryDNA test, the Boston-raised musician and songwriter learned her name was Samantha before she was adopted. So in 2018, following her last single as Annie, the artist embarked on a two-year personal journey into her past, sharing experiences with other Transracial Adoptees (TRAs).Gentlenames the first single off the EP of the same name, which is also the first chapter of this journey. Energetic beats meet Annie's distinctive soul voice and are punctuated with vocal snippets culled from interviews with members of the TRA community. During her remarkable career, Goodchild has left behind various stops, toured the world with Scott Bradlee's Postmodern JukeBox, toured for five years with the band she founded, Melou, and was the Annie Goodchild opening act for Alicia Keys. After the last Annie Goodchild concert in spring 2021 had to be cancelled due to corona, now I Used to Be Sam comes to the Kaserne to convince the Basel audience of her live qualities.
