New Hampshire native Adam Wakefield has certainly carved out his place in Nashville, Tennessee, but is far from the typical artist one may expect to find in Music City.
Embracing his piano skills and jazz influences, the singer-songwriter made the leap from the East Coast to Nashville. While playing a bluegrass gig downtown with his band one night, somebody from NBC’s The Voice approached him and asked him to audition for the show. The audition led to Adam being selected for Blake Shelton’s team and finishing the competition as The Voice Season 10 runner-up. His newfound name recognition was the catalyst for him to pursue a solo career.
Wakefield’s fans can look forward to the artist’s new song “Blame It On Me,” which became available digitally on Friday, March 24th. If you enjoy powerful and soulful music with a bluesy edge— “Blame It On Me” is right up your alley. Chris Stapleton fans will surely appreciate Adam’s blissfully traditional, yet unique, sound.

“Blame It On Me” Lyrics
Baby I’m tired of being gone
And I’m ready to come home
‘Cause any time away is way too long
And it don’t matter who was right and who was wrong
Blame it on me if it makes you feel better
Say I’m the reason that we couldn’t stay together
It’s my fault, say it’s all my fault
Blame it on me if it makes you feel right
Say I’m the reason that you can’t sleep at night
‘Cause it’s my fault, say it’s all my fault
Blame it on me
Tired of doing things that I regret
Saying things you can’t forget, no
I ain’t given up I’m giving in
And I don’t wanna fight now more
So open that door and let me in
Blame it on me if it makes you feel better
Say I’m the reason that we couldn’t stay together
It’s my fault, say it’s all my fault
Blame it on me if it makes you feel right
Say I’m the reason that you can’t sleep at night
‘Cause it’s my fault, say it’s all my fault
Blame it on me
