Sammy Rae & The Friends with special guest Melt

Sammy Rae & The Friends play The Pageant on Monday, October 26, with special guest Melt opening the bill. It's an all-ages show, so you can bring the kids along if you're planning a family night.

If you haven't come across them yet, the band describes themselves less as a band and more as a family of dreamers and artists, fronted by singer and songwriter Sammy Rae. Their sound pulls from a few different places at once—classic rock, folk, funk, soul, and jazz—and they've built up a following since Rae moved from Connecticut to New York City in her early twenties. She's put out two EPs so far, The Good Life in 2018 and Let's Throw a Party in 2021, and has played sold-out shows across North America and through the UK and Europe.

One thing to keep in mind before you head out: The Pageant's media policy for this one is strict—no cameras, no audio, and no video. You'll have to leave the phone in your pocket and just listen.

Doors open at 7 PM and the show starts at 8 PM. General admission is $35 in advance and $40 at the door, and reserved balcony seats are $50 in advance and $42.50 at the door. The venue is at 6161 Delmar, St. Louis, MO 63112.
