Sammy Rae & The Friends with special guest Melt
About This Event
Sammy Rae & The Friends, a Brooklyn-based jazz-pop and rock ensemble led by Samantha “Sammy Rae” Bowers, bring their live-first, rhythm-driven approach to the Brooklyn Paramount. They are joined by special guest Melt, whose rock/pop project channels early-1990s Japanese underground traditions—speed, distortion and pop-minded structures—with abrupt shifts and tight, percussive phrasing that treats volume and texture as compositional tools.
