~~Sam Grow was born to sing. From the second he opens his mouth, you know it. Born in southern Maryland, Grow discovered a passion for music at the age of 5, when his biggest musical influences, his father and sister, would spend their afternoons around the piano, singing and playing. “My dad would play The Righteous Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Elvis and Otis Redding records. I just fell in love with the soul and passion in their voices”. By 16, Sam was playing shows anywhere and everywhere he could; and in 10 years time, Sam has single-handedly built a core-following, playing 250 dates a year all over the US. His first 2 independent releases have sold over 30K copies and his most recent record charted in the top 20 on iTunes.
In late 2013, Sam made the move to Nashville and has inked his first publishing deal with ole. After meeting with ole’s General Manager, John Ozier, for 10 minutes, John knew that Sam was a star in the making. Ozier says, “I worked as an A&R representative for 10 years and I have never met an artist that sings and owns a room like Sam does. We are excited that he is a part of the ole team. Sam has a very bright future ahead of him.” Sam will be recording his next record with Grammy-nominated producers, Matt McClure and Kyle Jacobs, with a scheduled release in 2014.
