Since forming in 2016 under the leadership of singer-songwriter Sammy Rae (Samantha Bowers), the group has cultivated a reputation for vibrant live music experiences that integrate deft musicianship, bold vocal performances, and a palpable sense of camaraderie both onstage and off. Their genre-defying sound uniquely melds funk, soul, classic rock, folk, and jazz, embracing a spirit of inclusivity and joy that resonates through their growing discography and sold-out concerts.

Building steadily through grassroots word of mouth, Sammy Rae & The Friends have made a strong impact on the live music scene, selling out venues and making memorable festival appearances across North America, the UK, and Europe.

Most recently, singles like "Boogie All By Yourself" have showcased their flair for genre fusion and songwriting panache, while live performances remain the band's true heartbeat.
