Rob Wolf
Rob Wolf is relatively new to the Nashville Country music scene, formerly a part of a brother and sister duo based in Nashville, TN. He hails from Southern Montana, near Bozeman. Rob started playing at age 15 in coffee shops and recently moved to Nashville where he is currently playing smaller, quaint venues in Nashville to build his fan base. Rob was first bitten by the music bug in school productions in the 5th grade, but really dug in deep in his freshman year of high school when he learned to play a few chords on the guitar. Although he always thought he wanted to be a pilot or pursue baseball. Rob’s music career was born while he worked as a dishwasher at Sage Lodge in Paradise Valley, MT where he eventually performed every Friday night. Jackie discovered some old videos of Elvis on YouTube and at that moment she realized what it means to be an entertainer and how deeply that can move people. I live by three rules: love God, love your family, and don’t take anything for granted. My earliest memories are of me always being outside, whether it was playing in the mud, riding four-wheelers, or shooting my dad's back window out of his pickup with my BB gun. I grew up on country music. My dad loves John Denver, so I've learned almost all of his songs.
Nowadays, you can find me on the river's edge with a fly rod in my hand or pursuing my passion to hunt that has been passed down through many generations in my family, a time to reminisce on forgotten memories and share happiness with each other. Whenever I can, I’m up on a mountain trying to find the hardest and steepest side of the mountain to ski down knowing that the earth can grab at my ankles and take me down at any second. It is the thrill of knowing what could happen that makes me want to conquer every inch of the mountain.
Take a trip down to the base of the mountain, and you’ll find yourself in a little town called Livingston, Montana. That is where I call home. It is filled with cowboys, ranchers, artists, and old saloons that have been planted there since the town was built by the railroad in the 1800s to access Yellowstone National Park. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for that wind-blown town. It is where my sister and I really started our music career. The community gave us encouragement to share our music with others. We somehow found ourselves singing every Friday night at a high-end lodge. We received true enjoyment singing to traveling souls and the local old timers who came there for pastime entertainment. It seemed that we were bringing in more and more people with each show. But that town can only hold so many people, which is why my sister and I decided to head southeast to Nashville, which is where we sing our songs today. Livingston will always be my home and will always be in my heart. It is where I learned many life lessons that have brought me here today. It is where a dream started. Rob Wolf writes his songs from personal experiences, books and stories heard from friends and strangers. On August 19, 2022, Rob released his debut single, “Home.” His sophomore single, “Everything to Me” dropped October 14, 2022 and his final single for 2022, “For the Best” released December 16th of that year. “What’s Yours,” a self-penned single about cheating, with a “spaghetti western” type melody, dropped February 24, 2023. Rob released his autobiographical single, “How I Live My Life” April 21, 2023. In June 2023, “Banks of the Yellowstone,” another Montana-inspired single was released.

A song they co-wrote is a deeply personal song about the pain and struggle of addiction called “Mama Don’t Give Up” that many people seem to relate too.
“Montana,” a song Jackie wrote when she first got to Nashville and pursuing a solo career in music. She was living alone and incredibly homesick and this is what came out at that moment. An ode to the place that made her who she is, the song is always well-received when played live.
“Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen also is a fan favorite they perform live and seems to get the best reactions from the crowd.
They are currently finishing up writing for their debut EP and getting ready to get in the studio to record with Grady Saxman at Saxman Studio in Nashville. Grady is best known as a drummer for Luke Combs, with credits including Uncle Kracker, Bobby Bones and Kidz Bop.
