Sami Braman is an accomplished old time fiddler. She’s been at it since she was six, leading a band since she was eight! Early training at Pacific NorthWest camps and festivals has led to many musical projects such as The Onlies, Willie Watson’s Band, and her own stringband. Frank Evans on banjo, Jake Stargell on guitar and Emily Mann on bass join Sami’s fiddle for a show at Northampton’s Parlor Room on Wed 9/4.

Our conversation is interspersed with tunes from her band release, “Riveter” alongside her work with The Onlies. We talk about her musical journey, her college choices, her playing with Willie Watson on record and on tour. Sami talks about the pride she has in running the Fiddle Tunes camp that she grew up attending. She discusses her move to Nashville Tn, a town jammed full of amazing fiddlers as she continues to grow as an artist. Catch the next phase of that growth when she leads her talented band on tour as the Parlor Room reopens for the Fall season. Details at ParlorRoom.org for details.
