Sammy Rae & the Friends is the name of the band. Sammy Rae explained to me that not only the members on stage are "friends," but every single one of us fans in the audience are considered friends by her and the band. So, the name of her band is appropriate.
I am a proud member of the friends, even if I can't carry a tune, or play any instruments. It sure feels great to be included, no matter my musical abilities. I loved this conversation with Sammy as she explained "why a band," and the whole idea of how they've expanded their audience so quickly. It's all about inclusion - yea, another great reason to love them.
Get ready to fall in love with a new favorite band!
