In this week’s episode of the Gay City News podcast “Thank You For Coming Out,” creator and host Dubbs Weinblatt (they/ them) welcomes Sammy Rae (she/they).

Sammy is the frontman for Sammy Rae & the Friends, a Brooklyn-based collective whose sound is rooted in classic rock, folk, and funk and sprinkled with soul and jazz. Complete with a rhythm section, two saxophones, keyboards, and plenty of percussion, Sammy Rae & The Friends have delivered their high-energy, spirited, and unrestrained shows to sold-out audiences around the US and Europe. They are currently gearing up to headline a NYC Summerstage show in Central Park this June and will continue the party on their world tour this fall!

Listen in to our latest incredible journey into the LGBTQ communities’ vulnerable and often hilarious stories of coming out.
