Citing Justin Townes Earle, John Moreland, Woody Guthrie, Nirvana, Lead Belly, and Bob Dylan as influences, Oregon-born, Utah-based Sammy Brue is an Americana and country-folk prodigy who released his debut LP, 2017's I Am Nice, at the age of 15.
Brue began honing his sharp songwriting and exploring his deep love for Americana and country-folk at the age of ten. By the age of 13 he was opening for artists such as Joe Fletcher, Lukas Nelson, Lydia Loveless, Asleep at the Wheel, and Hayes Carll, and by 14 he had released two EPs and garnered praise from the likes of Lucinda Williams and Justin Townes Earle, the latter of whom took the young troubadour under his wing -- Brue even appeared on the cover of Earle's 2014 LP, Single Mothers. In 2017, Brue released his John Paul White and Ben Tanner-produced full-length debut, I Am Nice, on New West Records. Three years later, he returned with a sophomore effort, Crash Test Kid.
