[dropcap]A[/dropcap]merican Idol Top 5 Finalist Sam Woolf released his 2014 debut EP album “Pretend”.
Featuring his “acclaimed vocals and organic style with original lyrics reflecting emotions held close as he navigated through turbulent periods of his youth,” the EP was produced, engineered and mixed by Grammy-winner Danny Blume, and features backing vocals by Curtis King and Cindy Mizzelle of the Bruce Springsteen tour.
“Sam is a natural singer whose soul and passion are undeniable in every note he sings,” Danny Blume said. “Sam’s beautiful heartfelt lyrics, delivery, melodic instinct, and rock solid guitar playing made this record a joy to produce.”
“Pretend” is currently available for purchase online at CD-BABY. The EP will subsequently become available on iTunes.
Woolf’s performances have obtained millions of views online, and he has recently performed as the featured artist at benefit concerts and appeared as a Special Guest at both Alex Preston’s and Ryan Beatty’s concerts.
Woolf will co-headline Winterfest in Florida in February with the Grammy-winning Doobie Brothers. The EP was partially funded by Sam’s fans, the “#WoolfPack” through a crowd-funding campaign.
