Todd Wolfe was born and raised in Forest Hills, Queens, an area of New York City renowned for its musical diversity, with alumni ranging from Burt Bacharach and The Ramones to Leslie West and Simon & Garfunkel. Like most musicians of that time, the music bug really bit with the appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and Todd's fascination with the sounds emanating from the guitars of George Harrison and John Lennon. This fascination grew with the onslaught of the "British Invasion," and bands such as The Animals, Dave Clarke Five, Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones.

With the second wave of the British Invasion and the sounds of Eric Clapton and Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and other British guitar players such as Peter Green, Mick Taylor and Jeff Beck, as well as American guitarists like Johnny Winter, Mike Bloomfield and Leslie West, Todd got the guitar playing bug. At 13, he purchased his first guitar, a Dakota red Fender Mustang. With that, Todd's desire to emulate these new heroes came to full tilt, and he also got an education attending rock concerts and listening to the music his older brother brought home. Soon Todd began to purchase his own albums, creating his musical foundation. He had also become aware of those American blues guitarists that inspired his favorite guitar players, the likes of B.B. King, Freddy King, Otis Rush, Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Guy, Albert King and the electric blues of the Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf bands.

Eventually, Todd started playing in garage bands, doing gigs at local parties and participating in "battle of the bands" events. In high school, he put together his first band, although it wasn't until another four years that Todd put his first club band together, Nitetrain. That first year, the band opened for Albert Collins, Dickey Betts and Walter "Wolfman" Washington.

In the ‘80s, Todd formed Troy & the Tornados, and they opened for many acts including, Gregg Allman, The Outlaws, Dickey Betts, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower and The Neville Brothers, doing shows in the New York metro area. This was the time that Todd really started to put his guitar playing skills together and ended his somewhat reluctance of being a front man for his own bands.

Todd also met two women in this time period that would eventually play a part in his guitar playing experience: Carla Olson of the Textones and Sheryl Crow, who at the time was an unknown back-up singer. By the late ‘80s, Sheryl had sat in several times with Todd in New York City after being introduced to him by the man who would eventually manage both of them. Todd decided to fly out 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.

Todd decided to re-locate to Los Angeles and revamped his new lineup – now as T. Wolfe and the Tornados - and began to perform in small clubs in southern California. During this time, Todd began to score and provide music for the Playboy Channel and joined up with old friend Carla Olson and her latest band. But it wasn't long until Todd was back with Sheryl Crow, as she had just completed her soon 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. Crow turned to Todd for that role, which lasted for almost five years, ranging from the early days of "all in the van" to touring the world several times and opening concerts for legends like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Plant & Page, Elton John and others.

After Todd left the Sheryl Crow band he started from scratch with a varying lineup of players including Eric Massimino, Michael Lawrence, Rich Pagano, Dave Hollingsworth and many other players of merit up to the current lineup of Roger Voss on drums and Suavek Zaniesienko on bass. This lineup recorded Todd's sixth release since leaving Sheryl's band, Stripped Down at The Bang Palace. Todd and band have kept busy with six album releases and more than a dozen tours of Europe in the last ten years.

In the summer of 2010, the band decided to record and film a concert one night under a full moon over Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and the results will be released as both a CD and companion DVD, The Todd Wolfe Band Live. On this special night, guitarist Todd Wolfe and bandmates Roger Voss on drums and Suavek Zaniesienko on bass display the power and tightness they have developed over the past two years of constant touring. The Todd Wolfe Band Live CD and DVD are greatly anticipated by the group's swelling legions of fans and are sure to bring new ones to the band's live shows.
