Rī WOLF
Rī Wolf is a gritty, soulful voice rising from the heart of West Texas — a blues artist channeling the raw spirit of the American West. After a 14-year career as a college track coach, Rī made a bold return to music, quickly blazing a trail as a full-time artist. In just three years, he’s released over 80 songs, each steeped in dusty authenticity and driven by a timeless sound.
His breakout single “Blood Red River” — featuring renowned slide guitarist Justin Johnson — earned a spot on the Spotify Top 200 Blues Charts, marking his arrival as a powerful voice in modern blues. In 2024, he took the stage at Carnegie Hall to perform his original “Back Porch Blues,” delivering his signature blend of grit and soul to one of the world’s most legendary venues.
Rī Wolf’s music lives where tradition meets fire — a collision of Texas blues, roots rock, and outlaw Americana with echoes of ZZ Top and Larkin Poe. Whether he’s lighting up a back porch session or commanding the stage, his performances are raw, real, and driven by the pulse of the land that raised him.
With roots sunk deep in West Texas soil, Rī Wolf isn’t just writing songs — he’s carrying forward the culture, stories, and spirit of the American frontier.
