News: Sammie Joins the Russ Parr Back to School Bus Tour
R&B sensation Sammie exploded on the scene with a #1 hit "I Like It," at the age of 12. Now 18, he's back and better than ever gaining major spins at radio, MTV and BET with his first single "You Should Be My Girl" from his long awaited self-titled sophomore CD set to release October 3rd on Dallas Austin's Rowdy Records label.
Sammie is scheduled to perform a few dates on the Russ Parr Back to School Bus Tour starting in Fayetteville, NC on Monday, August 14th and ending in Washington, DC on Thursday, August 17th.
Sammie has taken time to grow up, experience adolescence and high school without the glare of the music business engulfing him. Now he's back with a hot new single that's blazing up the charts.
He recently toured with the Pantene Pro V Total You Tour and now he's set to join national air personality Russ Parr for his Back To School Bus Tour.
"I'm excited about joining the Russ Parr Back to School Bus Tour," says Sammie, "It will give me the opportunity to help promote to young people the importance of staying in school. I'm glad I was able to finish high school as a normal kid because I had the chance to really enjoy it, now I can totally focus on my music career."
While on tour, Sammie will promote his new CD which is a perfectly blended mix of hip-hop influenced mid-tempo tracks and soulful R&B ballads collected from some of today's hottest musical producers including Dallas Austin, Brian Cox, Jasper Cameron, Adonis, The Corna Boyz and Daron Jones. Infused with inspiration from some of Sammie's musical icons "Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Michael Jackson, and Usher," Sammie raises the bar for entertainers today and showcases his sheer talent and wide vocal range. source: Evette Fergerson / The Courtney Barnes Group / |
