About Us
The Story Behind the Band Everyone Loves
Sam McCrary & The Mix was built the old-school way — on reputation, relationships, and music that runs deep. Sam was raised in Nashville surrounded by a family whose musical legacy stretches back generations. His grandfather, Reverend Sam McCrary Sr., was a founding member of The Fairfield Four, one of the most celebrated gospel quartets in American history and an inductee of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. His aunts, The McCrary Sisters, have performed and collaborated with Carrie Underwood, Hank Williams Jr., Sheryl Crow, Maren Morris, and Gregg Allman. Music isn't a career for Sam — it's a family language. That foundation, combined with years performing alongside Nashville's best and handpicking musicians who match that same standard, is what makes The Mix unlike any band you can book through an agency.
