Sammy Brasher

Sammy Brasher plays The Supermarket on Monday, October 19, with the show starting at 8 PM. He's an Atlanta singer-songwriter, and the night is built around his set, though he's sharing the bill with Run Katie Run, Whitney Bjerken, Paola, and Dalby, among others.

Brasher's songwriting started when he was 19 and living in Fort Worth, Texas. He tells it as a specific moment: he heard Neil Young's "Needle and the Damage Done," picked up his first guitar from a pawn shop, and set out to play the music he had in his head. That start sparked a passion for songwriting that's stayed with him ever since. His songs draw on his own life, his roots, and the stories around him, shaped by Southern influence and a drive to carve his own lane, with an authenticity that carries across genres.

Musically, his work sits at the crossroads of folk, indie folk, alt country, alt rock, and contemporary folk. It's a wide enough spread that he can lean into different moods throughout a set—the acoustic side of folk and indie folk, the twang of alt country, and the louder, more driven edge of alt rock. Hearing those different threads in one night gives you a good sense of how he works.

It's a full bill, so you'll get more than just Brasher. Run Katie Run, Whitney Bjerken, Paola, and Dalby are all on the lineup, with a few more names to come. The whole thing kicks off at 8 PM at The Supermarket.
