TODD WOLFE

HOUSE OF BLUES/CHICAGO, MONDAY, OCT. 13
(CHICAGO, IL)

Midwest/Canadian Tour with a show at the Back Porch at House of Blues, 329 N. Dearborn St., Monday, October 13. 8

Longtime
guitar ace Todd Wolfe is known for his work with Sheryl Crow (five years as her
lead guitarist in the '90's), as well as Carla Olson (The Textones); and Leslie
West (Mountain), among others, throughout a stellar career. The Todd Wolfe Band
had just returned from yet another road trip - four in 2013 alone, totalling
close to 40,000 miles, from the Czech Republic to San Francisco - and received
year-end accolodes including a "Best Band" nomination from Rockwired Magazine. Wolfe has released seven albums since
1999 and has written songs for acts as diverse as country star Faith Hill and
renowned jam band, Phish.

Todd Wolfe Band Reviewed Live By National Rock Review
(April 2014)
"The beauty
of listening to a Todd Wolfe show is the depth of his musical career; a career
spanning thirty-plus years, honing and toning ‘his’ sound," writes National Rock
Review in a live review of the band's show in Grand Rapids, MI this past April.
"The trio is deep and accomplished. Each member brings a full plate to the
table, with instrument and voice, which makes them sound bigger than a
three-piece. Choral harmonies are layered in 3rds and 5ths that might evoke a
Fleetwood Mac-esque tone yet steeped in southern blues/rock," concludes the
review, which can be read in its entirety here.
"Miles To
Go" (American Showplace Music), represents another music milestone in
Wolfe's storied career. The record's ten tracks run the gamut from straight
blues to post-classic rock, each featuring Wolfe's uniquely rockin' soulful
vocals. Guest performers on Miles To Go (Wolfe's fifth studio album,
eighth total) include noteworthy blues harpist Steve Guyger and organ ace, John
Ginty. Wolfe has truly arrived on his own terms, and as Miles To Go
proves, creating quality music for the world to hear.
What the Media is Saying About Miles To
Go and the Todd Wolfe Band
"Miles To Go" follows the same formula for success so clearly visible in his first release: excellent original material punctuated by world class guitar skills, all delivered via above average vocals. Keep up the great work, Mr. Wolfe, I hope to catch you live and on stage some day." BLUESROCKERS
"Miles To Go has a deep bluesy soul with
a tinge of Southern rock and a psychedelic vibe...'Wolfe's current bandmates are
both incredibly skilled musicians, each adding a unique element to the band's
overall sound."
BLUES ROCK REVIEW
"The Todd Wolfe Band deliver a powerful
sonic experience with the release of 'Miles To Go' ...with a mix of blues,
Southern rock, and even a little soul, the eighth release by this band has me
yearning to hear the earlier releases."
ROCK OVER AMERICA
"Imagine some power trio mixed into a
Texas blues foundation and overlaid with trippy psychedelia...that's the essence
of (Todd) Wolfe's music."
