Let's face it, gigging musicians have had a tough way to go during COVID. Right before the pandemic hit we recorded a video of up and coming independent artist Sammy Brue building his own guitar to record with and take out on tour. youtu.be/InaScMB7HdI
We thought it would be fun to follow up with Sammy, see what he's been up to.
It turns out, A LOT. Check it out.
