That all-for-one and one-for-all camaraderie ignites<br />their unforgettable and can’t-miss live shows, which serve as a catharsis for both the musicians<br />and their fervent audience. Fronted by singer/songwriter Sammy Rae and honed through years<br />of touring, the group is capable of flourishing in any spotlight thanks to its signature blend of<br />palpable chemistry, deft virtuosity, and vocal fireworks.<br />Their sound, which has attracted new fans by the thousands in the past few years, is a unique<br />mélange of Sammy’s influences: classic rock, folk and funk and sprinkled with soul and jazz. Rae<br />has been building toward this moment since moving to NYC from Connecticut in her early 20s.<br />Finding herself without a built-in peer group, she simply built it herself: the literal and proverbial<br />Friends. When she started playing shows, she made sure the audience was part of the family too.<br />Everything that’s happened since – from EP\'s "The Good Life" (2018) and "Let’s Throw a Party"<br />(2021) to sold-out shows in major markets and secondary markets alike across North American<br />and the UK & Europe, to high-profile festival sets around the world, including Bonnaroo’s main<br />stage, Sound on Sound, All Things Go, and more – has been based on friends telling friends.<br />With the release of their debut album "Something For Everybody" in 2024, Sammy Rae & The<br />Friends have come to represent more than just a band: they are a full-on movement being adopted<br />with refreshingly diverse clientele. The band is currently working on their next album.</p><p style="text-align:center"><strong>Stay Connected with Sammy Rae & The Friends</strong><br /><a href="https://www.sammyrae.com/">Official Website</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SammyRaeMusic">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sammyraemusic/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sammyraemusic">TikTok</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/SammyRae">YouTube</a></p>
