Sammy Arriaga: Soulful and Smooth

Just 20 years old, Sammy Arriaga, has a voice of experience. His smooth baritone sound will sooth and serenade you for hours. Now, you may recognize his name. He auditioned for American Idol with a chance to perform in front of the judges and even advanced. Unfortunately the road for American Idol was short. That's when he turned to Nashville. You may have even seen him perform in Nashville at Rippy's Bar & Grill.

A Miami, Florida native brings his Latin heritage to country music. His soulful voice will make girls swoon and the guys a bit jealous. Under Nashville management, Sammy is making a name for himself meeting new fans every week and making new fans out of those who are graced with his presence. He has a strong charisma that is refreshing.

When talking about the artists that have been playing LP Field this week, he said he would love the chance to perform there, but he would like to perform just with himself and his guitar. Not only is Sammy a talented singer, he is very talented with guitar. Sammy says he looks up to Keith Urban not only because of guitar, but his voice. With similar range, Sammy can pull off any song and put his own twist to it.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sammy's performance at Rippy's Bar & Grill on Broadway today. It was very refreshing to hear a voice like his. Watch out for him - he's going places.
