Sam Woolf

About a year ago, I wrote some new lyrics for Leon Bridges' The River and had it produced as an Xmas gift for my wife. Since then I've had this idea in my head to have it played live for her. The idea was to come upon a street musician playing her song. Found Sam here on GigSalad and sent Sam the song so he could learn it. We agreed on a date to find him in Central Park and it was challenging because it needed to be a casual spur of the moment walk in the park sort of thing or she would know something was up. Day of our visit it was bright and sunny... and COLD!! Sam was in agreed location playing Tennessee Whiskey and we stopped to listen. He finished and asked if we had any requests. My wife turned to me and quietly asked, "What about that song you like by Leon Bridges?" I said to Sam, "Surprise us," and he started to play the music to The River which made her smile and laugh. And then he sang her song instead of the original lyrics and she was a little confused... she looked at me and was like... is he singing my song?!?!? He is singing my song!!!! And she smiled with her entire body and leaned into me with a hug and a kiss and said, "Well done husband. Well done."
Sam couldn't have been more gracious and he sang and played beautifully.
Absolutely perfect moment and she floated around the rest her day.

Sam was fantastic. He appealed to all ages at our college graduation party. We sang along with him and loved his vibe. We highly recommend him. Thank you!!

Sam was amazing! He has an incredible voice and great personality - a true musician and professional.

Looking forward to seeing him play live in the future.

Made a fan out of all of us!

Thanks Sam!!!! You made the night!

He was fantastic and received a lot of compliments.
Definitely recommend on hiring him for your next gig.
He sang perfectly and even one of the guests got up there with him.
He replied quickly to my texts and answered all questions.
10 out of 10 would recommend.

Sam was simply amazing. He played for our wedding cocktail hour and all of our guests said his voice is incredible and how he was the highlight of the night! We had Sam play our first dance (Beyond by Leon Bridges) and he totally killed it!! Tears of joy! I can't say enough great things about Sam, his professionalism and his amazing voice and guitar skills. Sam- thank you so much for being at our wedding and making our wedding dreams come true. You are a STAR!

Great musician, great voice, great set list!

Sam is an incredibly talented vocalist and we were so ecstatic to have him performing at our wedding. He was very professional, showed up on time and played exactly what we asked for our ceremony processional and recessional. He had to shift locations twice within the 2 hours he performed and he was very accommodating. Thank you Sam!

Sam did an incredible job singing at our wedding. Every single guest raved about him! He arrived on time, was super friendly, and is incredibly talented. He sang while guests arrived, for our processional, during cocktail hour, and for our first dance. It was so amazing to have live music for our special day. My sister is hiring him next summer for her wedding she loved him so much. Thank you Sam!

Sam provided several hours of entertainment for our backyard party. He gave us a wonderful assortment of tunes that everyone enjoyed! Sam is extremely talented alented and super nice!

It is always a pleasure to have Sam Woolf here in Warwick NY! His incredible vocals and originals always move the crowd and his covers are great too! So many great songs in his repertoire too. We have him here with The Como Brothers Band - they play, write and record songs together too - and it's always a great night of music! He is a kind, caring and personable singer songwriter who is always happy to share his talent and to chat with his fans. We look forward to having him back every year, if not more often than that!
We love you, Sam! Wish you all the best,
Donna K. from Project Knomad ...and all the WG's

Sam performed for about 50 people at a college graduation party that I coordinated in Concord. He arrived with his portable sound system and mic and was extremely easy to work with. The audience was very mixed in age - a lot of college grads, young professionals, older parents and a few grandparents. Sam chose selections that appealed to all and even, upon request, serenaded the grandma (age 90) and her twin sister, with Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Both ladies got up and danced - it was a touching moment. I highly recommend Sam. He is extremely talented, personable, adorable and will help make a party something special to be remembered. Thank you Sam!

Sam is super talented and very easy to engage with.

Sam was professional and kind would highly
Recommend him for any sort of event you might have.

2018 Pure Michigan Aerospace Summit performance of the National Anthem was great!

Sam Woolf is an extremely talented artist who delighted a room full of ladies ranging from 6 months to 60 plus yrs including 1- 5 yr. old boy! The acoustic guitar and his folksy calming singing voice completely complimented the baby shower! He surprised us all by playing the late Tom Petty's song "Free Fallin'" which was superb!! Sam has a sweet kind spirit! Thank you Sam Woolf for a truly phenomenal performance!
Peace & hugs,

I hired Sam to play at my husband's 50th birthday party at our home. He was very professional and a perfect fit for my event. I received many compliments from my guests. My only regret is that I did not give him a playlist and he forgot to bring his cds with him.
I can listen to that voice all day long.
Good luck Sam!

Sam was pleasant and easy to work with. Wish our event had lasted longer so we could have enjoyed his music longer.!

Sam was such a great addition to our birthday bash! His voice, style and personality was a great fit for our event. Looking forward to having him celebrate with us again in the near future.

Sam was just what we were looking for!!

Sam was great! My guests loved his music, and we spent a lot of time back and forth the week before making sure his set list was the perfect sound for my guests. The audience even had quite a few Sam Woolf fans from his time on American Idol, and he took the time after his set to take photos and meet and greet with them. He also sang The National Anthem for a Tribute to Veterans and First Responders and many guests went out of their way to tell me they loved it! Beautiful voice, very talented and positive young man. I would hire again and definitely recommend.

Talenteded beyond belief also easy going and easy to work with. We really had an amazing welcome party event to kickoff our wedding weekend and Sam was a great addition.
