Description

Olivia Wolf brings a rare blend of country, folk, and bluegrass into Soul Country with her live band and new release, Silver Rounds. Trailer features her New Orleans connection to Bobby Charles and mixing in his preferred studio. In the live cutaways check out their Band-like takes rumbling across Soul Country. Her debut shows startling variety of moods, sonics and rhythms making this an eye opening release. She's carving a new path by telling how it is. In the full podcast hear about the funky sounds she attributes to her penchant for Daft Punk textured by 90's household favorites like Lucinda Williams and Tom Waits. Her ear for the psychedelic sounds informs the spiritual journey, or so I'm told. ✌🏻 Made possible in part by grants from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.

More about Olivia Wolf

Olivia Wolf is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose soulful blend of country, folk, and bluegrass resonates with raw emotion and authenticity. Raised in Northern California and shaped by the Appalachian sounds of Virginia and Tennessee, her debut album Silver Rounds (January 2025) explores themes of loss, resilience, and spiritual connection. Produced by Sean McConnell, the album reflects her journey through personal tragedy, including the loss of her fiancé, into a sound that’s both cosmic and grounded. Inspired by outlaw country legends like Townes Van Zandt and modern voices like Gillian Welch, Wolf’s introspective songwriting and evocative storytelling invite listeners into a world where vulnerability meets strength.
