 ZamTrip is a hard-driving rock band from Rock Springs, Wyoming. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Samantha and anchored by the Zampedri brothers—Kyle, Cory, and Cody—the band delivers a fierce blend of alternative rock, hard rock, and blues-soaked grit that hits hard and sticks.

With the 2023 addition of rhythm guitarist Matt, ZamTrip’s sound grew even heavier and more dynamic. Drawing influence from Black Stone Cherry, Mötley Crüe, Halestorm, and Heart, the band brings soaring vocals, crushing riffs, and no-holds-barred performances that thrive in a live setting.

ZamTrip has performed alongside national touring acts such as Halestorm, Nonpoint, 10 Years, and Lita Ford, among many others, earning a reputation for high-energy shows that leave crowds fired up and wanting more. 

I recently moved to Rock Springs, Wyoming. A town in the heart of Southwest Wyoming, and like the rest of Wyoming it too proves difficult to find some good local music, that isn't country. A couple of weeks after moving back to Wyoming I kind of regretted it. Coming from a large city, where there are shows every night, and opportunity in the arts everywhere, to come to a whole state that primarily only plays country music, well frankly it sucked to say the least; until I discovered a very popular local group, whom they refer to themselves as "ZamTrip." Inspired by classic metal and hard rock groups we've all come to know and love like Motley Crue, Black Sabbath, Black Stone Cherry, Halestorm, and many others. When listening to this group for the first time you definitely get that Lzzy Hale vibe. The lead vocalist , Samantha Newman has got some pipes! Even though it seems as if these female vocal-lead hard rock and metal groups have been popping up all over the place, ZamTrip has proven their ability to run with the Big Dogs. ” - Tommy Boy

Regardless how large, or small, the crowd this band will bring it; because they love it. That's why I go, to experience the music, marvel at their talent, and feel their passion.” - Ray Michaels - 95 Rock FM
