Episode 27: Sam Grow

On this episode of Hitting The Road, we sit down with Sam Grow—one of country music’s most powerful voices and one of its most relentless storytellers. From booking his own shows and grinding through years of DIY hustle to watching his debut studio album Love and Whiskey hit #1 on iTunes with zero radio play, Sam’s journey is the definition of blue-collar perseverance.

We talk about the breakout moment that followed—how “Song About You” exploded to over 50 million streams and landed on Spotify’s Best Country Songs list, and how that success gave Sam the clarity and confidence to dig even deeper into his craft. His latest project, This Town, is his most personal yet: a raw, honest, and deeply human look at small-town life, heartbreak, loss, and the moments that shape who we become.

Sam shares stories behind the songs, the lessons he learned from playing in backyards across America during 2020, and why he believes music’s greatest purpose is helping people feel less alone. From pop-punk edges and ‘90s country influences to the emotional punch of “You Ain’t Gone” and the patriotic grit of “Kiss My Ass,” Sam walks us through the album that reconnected him to where he came from—and where he’s headed next.

If you’ve ever fought through something hard, chased down a dream, or leaned on a song to get you through, this conversation will hit home. Sam Grow is proof that your story matters, your roots matter, and you’re never walking through it alone.
