Kate Wolf was an American folk singer and songwriter whose poignant lyrics and melodic guitar tunes captured the hearts of audiences during the 1970s and early 1980s. Born in San Francisco on January 27, 1942, Wolf's music career began in earnest when she started performing and recording in the mid-1970s. Her style, often reflective and infused with the landscapes and spirit of the American West, resonated with the growing folk scene of the time.

Wolf's gentle, evocative voice and her poetic songwriting quickly earned her a devoted following. Her albums such as "Lines on the Paper," "Safe at Anchor," and "Close to You" featured a blend of original songs and covers that showcased her remarkable ability to connect with listeners on a profound level. Despite her career being tragically cut short by leukemia in 1986, her work lived on posthumously through releases like "An Evening In Austin" and "Give Yourself To Love: Recorded Live In Concert Vols. 1 & 2," capturing the enduring warmth and intimacy of her live performances. Today, Wolf's legacy continues to influence folk musicians and to touch those who find solace and authenticity in her music.
