Stream or download Wildwood ’19 Sessions with Sammy Brue: Wildwood ’19 Sammy Brue

Sammy Brue was just 13 years old when he first graced the stage at the Wildwood MusicFest & Campout, the annual summertime music gathering in Sheridan, OR, USA.

That was five years ago.

Returning to the festival last summer with a few more road miles and most of his teenage years behind him, Sammy showed up at Wildwood ’19 with a full band a handful of great new songs that he had just recorded in Britain.

Our podcast team seized an opportunity to hole up with Sammy in the festival RV to record this solo session. He debuts a few songs from his upcoming record Crash Test Kid, due out June 12 on New West Records, and also talks about recording the new record, making connections in Europe and the scene of young listeners and concert goers he’s reaching out to in his songs.

Like a lot of our favorite artists, Sammy’s been sidelined by the restrictions revolving around the current global health pandemic. But stay on the look out for Sammy as the record is released and he makes his way around the world as one of the hottest young songwriters in folk and rock.

Here’s a playlist of the songs included in the podcast. Enjoy!

“The Catch,” from the Down With Desperation EP (2018)
“Teenage Mayhem,” Live in the Podcast RV
“Crash Test Kid,” Live in the Podcast RV
“True Believer,” from Crash Test Kid (2020)
