Samantha Everts heads the Ottawa Rock Lottery as the event organizer and concert promoter since 2011.  She has been involved in the music industry for almost 10 years as a promoter, radio DJ, and journalist.  She goes a little crazy whenever Rock Lotto comes around but truthfully couldn’t imagine not giving back to the community that has supported her so much. She is responsible for all website, social media and press inquiries.  She works as a freelance journalist in Ottawa. www.samanthaeverts.com
