North American & European Fall Headline Tour Starts September 18

Brooklyn-based ensemble Sammy Rae & The Friends are wrapping up an incredible summer, including their triumphant debut at Central Park SummerStage, appearing on the main stage of Bonnaroo to a packed crowd, and making their Billboard Chart Debut. With a few more festivals on the horizon, the band is preparing to launch their fall headline tour across North America on September 18 before heading to the UK and Europe in November. All dates are listed below.

Last year’s fall headline tour saw Sammy Rae & The Friends playing some of their biggest shows to date, including two nights at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, Roadrunner in Boston and The Fillmore Theatre in both Philly and DC. The group’s energetic and communal shows are where they shine brightest and are not to be missed. Along the way, the band recorded their sets, and have now released a special live album: Sammy Rae & The Friends Live – The If It All Goes South Tour.

In between tour dates, Sammy Rae & The Friends are working on anticipated new music, details TBA. The new songs will follow recent highlights, including the soul-infused “Closer To You” and last summer’s jazzy retro pop singles “If It All Goes South,” which was accompanied by a stellar music video starring Barbara Lochiatto, who first warmed viewers hearts as the widow looking for a second chance at love in Some Kind of Heaven – a critically acclaimed documentary produced by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a DreamThe WrestlerJackie) and the New York Times and directed by Lance Oppenheim.

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