The following fill in the blanks come from 18 year-old singer-songwriter, Sam Woolf. You may recognize him from the 2014 season of American Idol where he placed in the competition’s top five. Woolf grew up in Michigan before moving to Florida and has been performing since 2011. On American Idol, he quickly became known for his perfect pitch and alluring tone. Woolf’s debut EP Pretend was independently released in December of 2014. The 5-track release, produced by Danny Blume, is a collection of authentic, laid-back artistry. Learn more about Woolf from his responses and check out the video for the making of “Close To Me” below.

You should come to Smith Mountain Lake. There are two venues, the Jefferson Cnter in Roanoke and the Harvester in a close small town. The mountains and trails are truly beautiful. I live on,the lake and offer free room and board.
