        Jazzy, folky, funky, soulful, classic rock-infused NYC indie pop outfit Sammy Rae & The Friends have been phriends of PHILTHY MAG for some time now.  I first met Sammy Rae in summer/fall of 2021, prior to a sold-out date at World Café Live; checked in with The Friends’ band...

        If my calculations are correct, the last time indie rock quintet flipturn played Philadelphia proper, they were in a venue less than 1/10th the size of that of their upcoming area appearance (And the last time they were openers and this time they’re headlining…)  The Florida band, who we...
