In October 2025, Oklahoma-based musician Haffway, whose real name is Sam Westhoff, has released his debut album 'Wither'. The album, a raw and honest exploration of the highs and lows of unmanaged mental health, was recorded in Westhoff's tiny home studio above a garage.
Earlier this year, in March 2025, Westhoff took the stage at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, marking his first-ever performance at the historic venue. His opening set on Bear Rinehart's Wilder Woods Tour was a stripped-back affair, with Westhoff delivering a song about the struggle to slow down.
