Afton Wolfe

Afton Wolfe is a Mississippi-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter serving up raw, soulful Americana with a side of Southern Gothic flair. Known for his gravelly baritone voice and poetic storytelling, Wolfe crafts moody, blues-infused tunes that feel equally at home in dimly-lit dive bars and contemplative late-night drives. His recent releases like "Twenty-Three" and "Til the River No Longer Flows" showcase his knack for marrying literary lyricism with rootsy arrangements, often blending folk, country, and jazz influences into what he cheekily calls "hobo pop."

A DIY road warrior with a law degree-turned-musician backstory, Wolfe’s work carries both the weight of lived experience and a rebellious spirit – evident in tracks like the haunting "Dead Flowers" cover and his working-class anthem "Truck Drivin’ Man." He’s become a cult favorite in the Americana scene for his genre-blurring authenticity and grassroots approach, frequently collaborating with other musicians while maintaining a distinctly Southern voice that’s equal parts philosopher and barstool raconteur.
