About Todd Wolfe - WOLFE
Valley Entertainment recording artist Wolfe, play an aggressive, daring, experimental bluesy, jamming rock. The band was formed following his five-year stint with Sheryl Crow as lead guitarist and occasional writing partner. As former lead guitarist for Grammy-winner Sheryl Crow from 1993 until 1998, Todd Wolfe has toured the world with the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Bob Dylan, Elton John, and Page & Plant among others. Now, Todd with his newest band "WOLFE" formerly the Todd Wolfe Blues Project, picks up where he left off 10 years ago, showcasing his original Bluesadelic material with a searing rock style! "Delaware Crossing", their latest offering, is a rocking treat full of jams and guitar stew. John Popper [Blues Traveler] lent a hand and a harp once again, and as you delve into the deeper cuts like the Pumpkinesque "Gates of Heaven" and the very real, very live "Wolfe Jam", there is no doubt WOLFE is crossing into more than Delaware! Todd's songs have been covered by a diverse range of artist such as, Deborah Coleman, Larry McCray, Faith Hill & Stevie Nicks. Todd began playing on the New York scene back in 1979 with his band, Troy & the Tornados performing in rooms such as the Lone Star Cafe, The Ritz, My Father's Place, Lamour's, The Chance, Tramps, Rodeo Bar and probably any hole in the wall in the NYC area that would book the Tornados. Todd or 'Troy' and company opened for a bevy of acts such as, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower, The Neville Bros., Son Seals, Dickey Betts, Omar & the Howlers, Gregg Allman, The Outlaws, Smithereens, Zebra, and his first opener back in 1980 , Albert Collins! Todd decided to head west in 1990 to write and record a demo with a then unknown backup singer named Sheryl Crow. After having that demo passed on by some major labels and not generating much interest after one show case performance, Todd decided to stay in Los Angeles to record and tour with former Textone, Carla Olson. Todd continued to record and perform with Carla and gig with his own blues trio and kept busy scoring soundtracks for the Playboy Channel. Sheryl in the meantime, had finished her first album, 'Tuesday Night Music Club' and needed a guitarist for her touring band which she put together in June of 1993 so, Todd came on board and remained until February of 1998 and in that time Crow and her band featuring Wolfe, romped around the world several times having toured with the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, Bob Dylan, Joe cocker, Page & Plant among others. In 1996, Todd relocated back to the NYC area and with Eric Massimino, Mike Lawrence and Crow band mate Scott Bryan founded A & M Record's MOJOSON, a modern blend of psychedelic Rock and Blues. Since the Universal takeover of the Polygram group left new A & M acts like Mojoson in limbo, Todd elected to leave the label and dissolve Mojoson, putting his energies into Wolfe, which was born during the downtime from Sheryl Crow tours. Between touring and recording commitments, Wolfe continues to play dates from coast to coast and across the Atlantic. As an infant, Dave's relentless beating on his mom's sofa through his toddler years not only started to drive the family mad but created an unhealthy, polluted atmosphere in the home due to the constant dust cloud. Dave's parents had no choice but to buy him a set of drums...louder yes, but easier to breathe! It wasn't long before Dave was winning music awards at school by participating in Jazz Band, Dixieland Band & The Symphonic Orchestra. Being an 'Overseas Brat' landed Dave in Munich, Germany where he cut his teeth performing live in Rock, Jazz, Blues & Fusion bands which has helped in developing a vast & wide drumming vocabulary. Dave's musical influences are varied as well, Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, Muddy Waters, Tony Williams, Buddy Rich and even the great composer, Stravinsky, have played a part in Dave's development as a musician. After moving back to the States in 1984 Dave played with various bands in and around the live scene in Washington D.C. before eventually moving to the Bethlehem area recently where he was snatched up quickly by Todd, for drum duties in Todd Wolfe's Blues Project. "I saw Dave playing with a local blues band and found his approach to be heavier and more varied than the average blues drummer so I asked him to sit in with us and the rest they say...is history!" more on the band soon!
Band Members Todd Wolfe-guitars & vocals, Dave Hollingsworth-drums, Michael Fossa-keyboards and Suavek Zaniesienko-bass. Sometimes assisted by Ed Canova, Rob Fraser, Michelle Glass, John Cree, Eric Seftel and plenty of drunks on any given night!
