Bluesfest: Todd Wolfe

Todd Wolfe is a blues and rock guitarist influenced, like a lot of folks of his vintage, by work of Jimi Hendrix, Leslie West and Eric Clapton, as well as various British blues rockers. He's a career musician, and first gained wide notice playing guitar with Sheryl Crow and The Textones. For the last decade or so he's been mostly doing his own thing, and has produced a half-dozen albums of sturdy rock'n'roll.

The man himself.

I did try to get a decent picture of drummer Roger Voss ... oh well!
