Profile

Julie Wolf is a multi-instrumentalist and singer who, besides making music of her own, has established herself as a sensitive, eclectic, collaborative, first-call side player. She's brought her memorably simple and pure musicality to stages across the world, as well as to a number of critically-acclaimed recordings.

In addition to trotting the globe with Ani DiFranco for over four years as keyboardist and vocalist, she is featured on many of DiFranco's most well-known recordings, including To The Teeth, Up Up Up Up Up Up, Evolve, and most recently, Knuckle Down. Wolf has worked with luminaries in the jazz, folk, funk and rock/pop worlds, including Maceo Parker, Bruce Cockburn, The Indigo Girls, Erin McKeown, Dar Williams, Catie Curtis, Kris Delmhorst, Girlyman, Alix Olson, Rhiannon, and Laura Love, among others.

Wolf also has a seasoned jazz life of her own, having been part of Seattle's jazz community for 16 years. There she has collaborated with such notables as Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Robin Holcomb, Ralph Towner, Julien Priester, Jay Clayton, Jerry Granelli and others. On her own recording, Walk The Worn Out Floor, Julie steps forward with a collection of songs ranging from familiar jazz standards to compelling originals written by herself and other Seattle-based jazz musicians. Delivered through an array of styles spanning the blues/jazz/singer-songwriter spectrum, Walk The Worn Out Floor brings the rich simplicity of Julie's pianmo playing and vocals to the foreground.

In early 2005, Wolf spent time in the studio co-producing Jennifer Berezan's new album, End of Desire, with Jon Evans (Tori Amos). This summer finds her on the road as part of Erin McKeown's trio, touring in support of Erin's new album, We Will Become Like Birds. Later this year, Wolf hits the road again with Dar Williams in support of Dar's upcoming release, My Better Self.
