Samantha Sidley Talks E.T. With LA Weekly

Samantha Sidley recently recalled “the best gig [she] ever saw” for a feature in LA Weekly. “Every summer I go to the Hollywood Bowl to see my wife’s grandfather John Williams conduct the LA Phil,” she told the alt-weekly. “He does a mixture of pre-’70s film scores along with his own music and it always completely blows me away. I remember one year he did E.T. and a special cut of the actual movie was playing on a big screen along to the live music. When E.T. phoned home there wasn’t a dry eye in the audience.” See the feature, which includes an embed of Sidley’s current single “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes,” here.
