Formed in late autumn of '08, Little Red Wolf brings together the collective hard working, hard rocking talents of four Madison-area musicians. Through sheer force of will and their lyrical, multi-instrumental ways, the band is poised to take the scene by charming storm.
Combining elements of rock, bluegrass, alt-country, and the harmony-heavy vocals of swing-era ensembles, Little Red Wolf offers something entirely new and unique without forgetting their roots. Their music has been described as “distinctive and melodic,” and “really ambitious, especially in the vocal department, and they pull it off beautifully.”
Little Red Wolf plays everything from up-tempo foot-stompers and straight-up rock, to soulful ballads and genre-bending tunes. Using vintage guitars, accordion, piano, percussion, and even the glockenspiel, they’ve managed to write an impressive set of original music that appeals to people across the usual boundaries.
(Kelly also currently plays with local disco superstars, VO5. Emily also currently moonlights as the drummer for local surf-pop rockers The Shabelles. Meghan rocks with Strange Talking Animals, too. Meghan and Laura once played for the sadly now-defunct A Catapult Western)
