Sam Woolf - How To Save A Life

The Town by the Sea

We never planned to release this.
These songs were just for us, little moments that sat on hard drives and notebooks, never really meant to leave the room. But after a while, it started to feel wrong keeping them hidden.

The Collection isn’t a greatest hits or a polished project. It’s the story of where we’ve been, caught in all its rough edges and quiet mistakes. Some songs are years old, while others seem to have come out of nowhere. Together, they make up everything that’s brought us here.

We didn’t mean for this to be an album. But here we are.

Griffin was born in the small town of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. He was raised on the lake and has always had a love for anything on the water. Growing up Griffin was obsessed with listening to music and would often find him-self staying up at night listening to the newest releases. It was during this time that he was influenced by all sorts of music including his Dad’s love for classic rock and blues. Griffin was 12 years old when his father, an avid guitar player, gave him his first guitar for Christmas. He took to the guitar right away and often found him self playing covers of his favorite songs, with some of his earliest influences including John Mayer, Jack Johnson and NEEDTOBREATHE. After a couple years of lessons he also began playing in the church band. It wasn’t until college that Griffin realized his gift for translating his emotions and words into music. He wrote his first song, “Might Go Crazy”, at age eighteen during an emotionally tolling time for his family. It was his first experience writing and sharing his music, allowing him to see the impact it could have on others. After studying Marketing at the University of Milwaukee-Wisconsin for two years, Griffin decided to transfer to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Here he was able to follow his true passion for music through their Music Business program, where he blended his passion for business with his love for music and songwriting. At Belmont, Griffin was able to make some essential connections allowing him to further himself as a singer/songwriter. The summer before his final semester Griffin interned at Leo Burnett Chicago as a music supervision intern. After hearing Griffin’s music his boss encouraged him to audition for American Idol Season 12 just two days before the audition took place. He ended up going all the way to Hollywood and having his auditioned aired. After the Idol experience, Griffin had a fortuitous meeting while on a plane to L.A. where he struck up a conversation with Keith Urban’s bass player, Jerry Flowers. The two ended up coproducing Griffin’s first two independently released singles, “Makes Me Hold On to You” and “Getaway”. It was during this same time that Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author, contacted Griffin in hopes he’d be willing to write an original album for her upcoming novel, Maybe Someday. The album was released in March 2014 along with the book and garnered enough interest to hit the Billboard Heatseeker Chart as well as hold the number two spot on the iTunes singer songwriter chart for two weeks straight. The book and album gained such a following that a book/concert tour was put together for the summer of 2014, solidifying the already expanding fan-base. Since then Griffin has been honing his sound and has recently released a music video to go along with his newest single “Set Me Free” from his upcoming EP. The Video was filmed in his hometown of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin with the help of some talented friends and filmmakers. In early 2015 Griffin signed with The Movement Group management in Nashville Tennessee. He is currently in the process of recording the rest of his upcoming release.
