About
American Roots Trio
Wolf Run started in 2010 when Adam Traum and Jack Hines met at an open mic in Sonoma, California. Traum was in search of a string bassist, and Hines fit the bill perfectly. They got together on a rainy winter afternoon at a cabin in Glen Ellen and the two had a great time jamming.
Traum's Americana/folk was a elevated with Hines’ dynamic groove. As they began playing local gigs, and traveling to out-of-town shows, the duo needed a name and liked the idea of "Wolf Run," a neighborhood near Hines' house.
Feeling the need to expand on their acoustic sound to include electric guitar and bass, Traum and Hines enlisted veteran drummer Kendrick Freeman whose groove propelled their rootsy sound to a new place.
The band plays songs ranging from acoustic singer-songwriter feels, funky grooves, and some good old rock and roll. They draw inspiration from a wide range of genres that include Americana, blues, folk, country and rock. Adam Traum is a prolific songwriter, with Hines bring in some terrific songs to the band as well. They are about to drop their full debut self-titled effort after releasing their singles.
While Traum handles the bulk of the frontman duties, Hines and Freeman both sing harmonies and lead.
