Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and raised in the small town nearby, Miami, Jon Wolfe’s depth of talent and commitment to craft was evident from an early age. From sketch pads to basketball courts, he did it all. “I was the guy who loved the game, but couldn’t stop drawing in the margins,” Wolfe laughs. A gifted athleteand a natural artist, he grew up balancing both lanes—until music found a way to pull him into a third.
He eventually earned a finance degree from Colorado State and landed a job on BP’s trading floor in Chicago. Hired as one of the high potential hires, Wolfe was in charge of trading globaldistillates andfutures–He was on the path of becoming a Wolfe of Wall Street. “It was everything I thought I wassupposed to want. But deep down, I knew I wasn’t built for fluorescent lights and a cubicle.” When Wolfewas transferred to their Houston office, he started playing in dive bars and beer joints. “People keptsaying, ‘You’ve got something. Go for it.’ That stuck with me."
After putting out albums in 2004, 2010, and 2021, Wolfe has now dropped his latest album - Barstool Therapy - and is sharper and more himself than ever. Created with trusted collaborators Dave Brainard and Tony Ramey, it’s an album of heartache and horizon. “This record is the most ‘me’ I’ve ever put on tape. And it’s the project I’m most proud of." Laced with standout tunes like lead-off single "The Older I Get (More Country I'm Gettin' To Be)" and collabs like "Tequila Cowboys" (featuring Randy Rogers) and "That's Not Very Texas Of You" (featuring Lyle Lovett), the project is unapologetically Wolfe - and as authentic as it gets.
