WOLFCHILD Cinematic Folk
KALA ends the summer with WOLFCHILD, a Portland,OR based Cinematic Folk Rock band with influences ranging from the immersive earthy sounds of Gregory Alan Isakov, Lord Huron, and The Paper Kites to the contemporary experimentation you might expect from Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, or Andrew Bird.
They’ve performed on stages such as The Troubadour, (LA) Folklore (UK), and Java (Paris); At festivals like Imagine Music & Arts, Oregon Country Faire, SXSW, Burning Man, 4 Peaks, Summer Meltdown, Northwest Folklife, and many more.
At the heart of the project is Gabriel Wolfchild and his brother Elion TruthHeart.
With his enchanting vocals, unique guitar work and lyrical storytelling, Gabriel invites listeners into deep emotional landscapes that touch the wild edges of the heart. Elion is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist who effortlessly flows between drums and a variety of exotic string and woodwind accompaniment. He contributes to a rich vocal harmony that only brothers can create.
Wolfchild weaves music that feels like memory — raw, poetic, and elemental.
