HAFFWAY
HAFFWAY is the artist half of producer and songwriter Sam Westhoff, creating what he calls “folkternative” — a blend of cinematic folk, alternative soul, and raw storytelling. What began as a personal outlet during creative burnout has evolved into one of the most compelling artist stories of the past few years.
After his early Prequel EP gained traction with fans and peers alike, HAFFWAY quickly found himself balancing life as an artist and producer for others like Cece Coakley, Bo Staloch, and Sam MacPherson. His breakout continued with Lady Lou, a shimmering collection of songs featuring Wilderado, Trousdale, and Keyland, and his track “Right Here” found a national audience after premiering on Grey’s Anatomy.
His debut album, Wither, arrived in 2025 — an emotionally charged journey through love, loss, and mental health. “It’s a properly sad album,” he admits. “If you listen top down, you’ll get a pretty solid understanding of the rollercoaster of my mental health… The first song feels like ‘I’ll hold you so close they’ll have to bury us in the same casket,’ and the last one ends with ‘don’t let me wither, I’ve never been sicker.’”
Wither includes standout collaborations like “Golden” (ft. Brent Cobb) and “Wither” (ft. Benjamin Francis Leftwich) alongside fan favorites “Bones Sleep,” “Better If Worse,” and “Drunk On Easter.” Following its release, HAFFWAY completed a sold-out North American run with Dermot Kennedy and a European tour with Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners, connecting deeply with audiences across both continents.
Outside his own artistry, Westhoff continues to make waves as a producer and writer with recent and upcoming releases for Shaboozey, Matt Maeson, Dermot Kennedy, Hunter Metts, Cece Coakley, and others.
A dual force of vulnerability and craft, HAFFWAY bridges the deeply personal and the universally felt. His music finds light in sadness and connection in solitude — the kind of songs that make you feel a little less alone when it’s raining and should’ve been snowing.
RYMAN
Born-and-raised Nashville native RYMAN has spent years crafting his unique sound and songwriting, which he lovingly refers to as “Y’allternative.” The 20-year-old singer songwriter has been drawn to music as early as preschool.
“I’ve been coming up with melodies ever since I can remember, literally. At 3-years-old, I was humming or singing lyrics and not knowing where they came from,” he says. That passion continues to evolve, and RYMAN’s single “Lose”, out January 2025, sets the tone for his next wave of music.
RYMAN’s music, deeply rooted in Pop, Alternative, and Singer-Songwriter genres, is celebrated for its narrative depth and his ability to craft lyrics that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally resonant.
Influenced by a spectrum of artists from Jackson Browne and The Beatles to contemporary figures like Ryan Beatty and Dominic Fike, RYMAN’s work is a reflection of his broad musical palette, striving to emulate the inspirational qualities of these legends in his own creations.
Looking ahead, RYMAN envisions a future where he makes a living through his dual passions: his artist project and writing for others.
