Les Sampou (born November 4, 1961 in Norwalk, Connecticut) is an American folk singer/songwriter. She got her start singing in Boston's Haymarket subway stop in 1985. She performed in several duos and trios, including "Double Edge" with Ellie Mae Higgins, but settled into a solo career after a few years.
In 2005 Les created a band, The Tin Angels, with musicians from her home state of Massachusetts. The Tin Angels plays her repertoire and expands her stylistic range, at the same time keeping a link to her themes and focus on her lyrics.
In early 2010 Les released a themed CD of recent tunes, called Lonesomeville, accompanied by a series of concert shows in traditional folk venues, such as Passim, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and additional Boston area venues in cooperation with locally well-known musicians, Taylor Amerding, Mark Cunningham, David Ogden, Andy Plaisted, Kevin Barry, Mike Dinallo and Jimmy Ryan.
