Haffway

HAFFWAY is the artist half of producer/writer Sam Westhoff. HAFFWAY lives in a space somewhere
between folk and indie alternative with a touch of cynicism. In the grand scheme of things,
HAFFWAY started by accident. Sam, being a producer and writer, found that after years of helping
other artists develop and find themselves (as well as starting a couple short lived solo projects
himself), he felt creatively tapped. Songwriting was cheaper than therapy, so there you have it. The
first track he wrote to help him process some of what was going on in his mental category was a
song called “I Don’t Need You Anymore”. Once the song was printed, it started to click that this
could be a new road to go down. 8 months later, HAFFWAY’s debut EP “Prequel” was released. As
you can expect, the producer/writer half of Sam started having more artists that aligned with
HAFFWAY showing up at his door. This is a good thing. Change scene to Nashville summer of 2023 -
Sam found himself balancing between HAFFWAY and producing/writing with other artists, both
local Nashvillians and national cats.
2024 was an exceptionally successful year of growth & achievement for HAFFWAY. After 3 big
single releases, Bells, Burden, and Whatever He’s On; HAFFWAY then released his highly
anticipated sophomore EP, Lady Lou, only to then follow that up with a deluxe version later in the
year that featured artists like Wilderado, Cece Coakley, Sam MacPherson & Trousdale. One of the
tracks “Right Here” even got a coveted sync on the season premiere of the legendary show “Grey’s
Anatomy”. HAFFWAY then brought all these releases to life on the road, touring with artists like
Brent Cobb, Elle Coves and Noah Floersch, winning over countless new fans in each room. With a
TIDAL Official Artist to Watch under his belt, a tour with Wilder Woods cemented to kick off 2025,
and numerous writing/production cuts for other artists such as Cece Coakley, Wilder Woods,
Hunter Metts, Barrett, and Clover County slated to release all in Q1, safe to say Sam and HAFFWAY
are taking over. Jump on the bandwagon before it’s too late.
