For as much as Sammy Rae & The Friends may be a band, this collective of, dreamers, and
artists considers itself a family first.

Fronted by singer and songwriter Sammy Rae, the group flourishes in any spotlight with a
combination of all-for-one and one-for-all camaraderie, palpable chemistry, deft virtuosity, and vocal fireworks. Their sound is a mélange of Sammy’s influences, rooted in classic rock, folk, and funk and sprinkled with soul and jazz. Complete with a rhythm section, two saxophones, keyboards, and plenty of percussion, Sammy Rae & The Friends have delivered their high-energy, spirited, and unrestrained shows to sold-out audiences in the Northeast and beyond, including Terminal 5 in NYC, two consecutive nights at the Boston Royal, 9:30 Club in DC, Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia, The Showbox in Seattle, the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville, and many more. NPR Music, the Boston Globe and American Songwriter alike have dubbed her an artist to watch in 2022.

While the band considers themselves the “7 faces of The Friends,” they advocate for the
importance of their community. Avid music fans themselves, they pride themselves on this
original grassroots, word-of-mouth growth. The Friends is their community of followers, artists
and creatives who help in the creation of their songs and sustenance of the project—their
mixing engineer, band photographer, graphic designer, budget manager, and everyone who
hangs around the shows supporting the vision. The shows are like a shot in the arm of
affirmation of individuality. They are safe spaces to feel overwhelmed with love and acceptance. “Friends” in the audience are encouraged to dress how they like, dance how they like, join the party and form person-to-person Friendships.
