In 2017, Sami Bearden and two Quincy friends, Savana Santos and Sam Backoff, decided to head off to Nashville to pursue a dream. Their band, “Avenue Beat”, had performed locally and the three young ladies decided to see where their talents would take them.

The band put out their first, and last, album last week.

Sami sat down with MRN Publisher/GM Bob Gough on Wednesday, October 20 to talk about life after Avenue Beat and what her future holds.
