Sammy Rae & The Friends with Melt in Charlotte

Sammy Rae & The Friends bring their high-energy blend of jazz, soul, rock, and pop to The Fillmore in Charlotte, with special guest Melt. Known for their ensemble interplay and audience participation, the Brooklyn-based band delivers a live show that feels like a musical community, complete with horns, rhythm section, and backing vocalists. Fans can expect a dynamic performance that draws on influences from funk, folk, and classic rock, all led by the charismatic Samantha "Sammy Rae" Bowers.

This concert is part of the band's ongoing touring, which has included sold-out shows at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club and European festival appearances like North Sea Jazz. With a debut album, Something for Everybody, released in 2024, and a surprise covers album in 2025, the band continues to expand their repertoire. The Fillmore offers a general admission, standing-room-only experience, welcoming all ages for an evening of infectious energy and musical camaraderie.
