Albi & the Wolves

**Albi & the Wolves** are a dynamic folk trio from New Zealand, blending rich harmonies, foot-stomping rhythms, and heartfelt storytelling. Fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Dent, the band mixes roots, Americana, and blues into a sound that’s both raw and uplifting. Known for their electrifying live shows, they’ve carved out a loyal following with tracks like "Light After the Dark" and "This Is War," which balance introspective lyrics with anthemic energy. Their music often explores themes of resilience and connection, echoing in songs like "I Will Not Be Broken" and "Remember Your Name."

Since forming in 2013, the band has become a staple of the Kiwi folk scene, earning accolades like the NZ Music Award for Best Folk Artist. Releases like *Next to Me* and *One Eye Open* showcase their knack for crafting soul-stirring melodies and earthy, groove-driven arrangements. Whether reimagining their work in stripped-back versions (check out the "Project Sunrise" arrangement of *Light After Dark*) or belting out bold originals, Albi & the Wolves keep their sound rooted in authenticity and communal spirit.
