**Sam Grow with special guest Blake Wood live at Eddie's Attic!**

Country singer Sam Grow is a small-town kid from Southern Maryland who’s been fortunate enough to cash in on big dreams thanks to hard work. Recently crossing more than 125 Million Spotify streams on his music, Grow is showing no signs of slowing down as he prepares to release of his 5th studio album Winfield in January 2025.

It began with his first studio full-length album, 2019’s Love and Whiskey which debuted at #1 on the iTunes chart and a lot has changed since then. He followed its success with his sophomore album This Town and the smash hit ‘Song About You’. Grow didn’t wait long to release his 3rd studio album and step into the role of full-time producer, releasing Manchester in November of 2022 featuring ‘Without You’.

Named one of Billboard Magazine’s coveted “7 Country Acts To Watch” list, and touted by Music Row as a sure-bet for future superstardom, Grow is showing no signs of a slowdown. Making his Grand Ole Opry debut in November of 2021 and following that with a second appearance on that hallowed stage in 2023.

Next Grow is embarking on his ‘Feels Like Drivin’ Acoustic Tour’ crisscrossing the US from January to April of 2025. Confirmed dates include Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Oregon, California, Kansas, Nevada and many others.

*Blake Wood*

Born in Kentucky and raised in Wake Forest, NC, Blake Wood draws from personal experiences to shape the songs he writes and sings. A true reflection of everything small town and middle-America with songs such as ‘Know You By Your Truck’ which tells the literal story of knowing who’s around town on any given night just by which pickup trucks you spot.

If you attended a house party or bonfire around Wake Forest a few years ago, there’s a good chance you might have seen Blake pulling out the guitar to entertain his friends. He started playing when he was 14 or 15 and doesn’t go anywhere without it now. He drew inspiration for performing music from his idols in the 80’s and 90’s country genre. A traditionalist at heart, Blake perfectly combines the sound of today and the storytelling and emotion of yesterday in his songs.

Music wasn’t an accident for Blake, it’s part of his DNA. He has been around it since he was young. Born into a highly musical family that includes 3 older brothers, his mom Lori, and dad Steven, Blake cut his teeth writing, singing, and recording; long before Nashville would notice. Blake graduated high school and followed pace with most of the other kids his age by enrolling in college at Wake Tech for business marketing. It took exactly 1 class for Blake to realize that wasn’t the future for him. Part of that draw came from visiting his older brother Jon who had already moved from North Carolina to Nashville to write and record music. Seeing Jon’s path and learning how Nashville could expand the music opportunities for himself, Blake followed his heart and moved.

As a songwriter, Blake writes what he lives. Some writers and singers must pretend to know about certain lifestyles to pull them off well. Blake can draw on what he knows from experience like tearing up backroads and off-roading, wetting a line fishing for large mouth bass, and driving old trucks. Blake still drives his 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with almost 300,000 miles on it.

Following your heart and your passion may not be the quick path, but it’s the right path. The people in Nashville have noticed Blake; he signed his first publishing deal as a songwriter in early 2023. That was followed quickly by his first record deal. He’s signed to the new Deluge Records Nashville (DRN).

His current single titled “Country Down” is an anthem for rural America that perfectly captures those that might be looked down on inside of a big, fast, hustle-and-bustle city but just so happens to fit perfectly in a small town. Starting with the line ‘Ain’t got a clue what I would even do if I landed these boots in a 4-lane city’ Blake reflects on growing up in the country and the things that are second nature to people with a similar upbringing. Referencing knowing about cane poles for fishing, dirt roads, the red words found in the bible and, of course, John Wayne. As Blake says in the song, ‘I ain’t got it all figured out, but I got Country Down.’

This is an all ages event.
