Hailing from the Twin Cities, the Hamm Sammies played their first show at the end of 2023 and have played Palmer's Bar, the Driftwood Char Bar, the Day Block summer patio series, Memory Lanes, the outdoor stage at Father Hennepin Park in Southeast Minneapolis and more.
Their music channels the grit of Tyler Childers, the groove of Booker T. & the MG’s, the looseness of Dr. John, and the tension of the Pixies’ quiet-to-chaos transitions. Blending these influences of honkytonk twang, Memphis soul, low down blues, and even a dash of Sonny Rollins (especially his Way Out West era), their arrangements get people out of their seats. If they’re not careful, audiences tend to shed their Midwestern stoicism during a Sammies set.
