Theo Sampel is a local DMV artist who is worthy of your attention. You may have seen him at the bar he manages, Cities Restaurant and Lounge. However, managing Cities is not Sampel’s claim to fame. Perfecting his craft for more than a decade, Theo has a hypnotizing voice and awesome mastery of the guitar.
Some fans liken Theo’s vocals to the haunted charm found in Thom Yorke of Radiohead, but with a touch of David Bowie’s deep, pained, voice. The album is particularly refreshing to hear today as many artists have steered away from the tortured, yet soothing sound that Sampel This embodies. Other big name musicians such as Marc Capponi (Piano/Keys), Dajando Smith (Bass Guitar), and Tom Barrick (Percussion) are on the album.
It is definitely worth giving a listen. Sampel This is available for purchase on iTunes (linked below). Physical copies are available at Crooked Beat Records in Washington, DC and will be available at more physical retailers soon!

About Alli, Sales and Marketing Savant
Alli Torzolini is currently a junior studying Business/Marketing at American University in Washington DC. She has always had an intense passion for music which led her to seek out an internship in the music business ultimately leading her to Altavoz. Music has always been an important part of her life.
Alli grew up right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the town of Villanova. While in school here she played violin for a total of 8 years and taught herself how to play guitar. Her involvement in music doesn’t stop there. She has prided herself on having one of the more diverse music tastes than many people she knows. You can find anything that you can think of on her iPod.
In her free time she enjoys working out and watching as much Netflix as humanly possible. In addition to these activities, she enjoys rooting for her favorite sports teams including the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and Miami Heat (because of her love of LeBron not Miami). Alli also enjoys finding new music whenever possible. Some of her favorite artists include Deadmau5, Amy Winehouse, Bon Iver, and Lana Del Rey just to name a few.
