“Miles To Go” is yet another outstanding set from a truly remarkable artist. I hope that this trio is able to stay together for a good while, as they truly will have the opportunity to record some what will no doubt become very memorable music.” Over the years of writing and reviewing music, I have continually run across artists and bands whose obvious and evident talent always leave me shaking my head, wondering why these people are not more mainstream. They are also artists who, when I hear of a new or upcoming release, I know I will want to review, as they seem incapable of releasing a bad recording. In anyone’s “top 10” of such artists in both categories, one should always find the name of one time Sheryl Crow guitarist and Los Angeles based blues/rock guitar great Todd Wolfe. ~ Tom Branson

Recorded Live at the Bluetone Cafe October 24th, 2003. Guitar & Lead Vocals: Todd Wolfe; Bass & Vocals: Eric Massimino; Drums: Dave Hollingsworth.

Todd began playing on the New York scene back in 1979 with his band Nitetrain, a trio that clearly reflected Todd's influences—60s bands like Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac and other bluesy-rocking-jamming bands. The wave of guitar players that included Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Bloomfield were and are influential and evident in Todd's style and approach to guitar-playing. His next venture was Troy & the Tornados, a band based in the New York metro area. Todd met two women in this time period that would eventually play a part in his guitar-playing and song-writing experience: Carla Olson of the Textones and Sheryl Crow, at the time an unknown back-up singer. By the late '80s, Sheryl had sat in several times with the Tornados in New York City. Eventually Todd decided to fly to Los Angeles and write with Sheryl and showcase their new band in hopes of a record deal. Nothing came of this particular venture, but these two would find each other again on the same stage just a few years up the road!

After relocating to Los Angeles with a revamped line-up, Todd began to perform in clubs in southern California, while also scoring music for the Playboy Channel and connecting with old friend Carla Olson and her latest band. But it wasn't long before Todd was back with Sheryl Crow, who had just completed her about-to-be-released debut album, the multi-platinum Tuesday Night Music Club. Crow needed a touring band, including a lead guitarist that could add some extra excitement to the live shows, and Todd filled that role from 1993 until 1998.

Todd eventually went on to form several bands, including a talented bunch dubbed MojoSon that were signed to A & M Records and included alumni of Sheryl's band along with alumni of Sun 60 and Five for Fighting. With parent companies swapping ownership of A & M Records, the MojoSon album sadly was never released. Always active, always playing, Todd has never slowed down. Todd has had many excellent partnerships with fine musicians from coast to coast.
