Award-winning alt-folk artist Timothy Wolf has returned to the music scene with intimate sophomore eight track album and a show at the Thornbury Theatre on October 12.
Written through the tumultuous years of Covid-19 lockdowns, Wolf authentically and positively transports you to the human experience of living in the world’s most locked down city in 2021.
For years, Wolf has carefully held onto these songs, contemplating whether they belong solely to his personal catharsis or have a place in the wider world. However, as he embarked on a collaborative journey with his band The Blue Roses, Wolf discovered a transformative power within these compositions that demanded to be shared.

Reflecting on the significance of these songs, Wolf reveals, “They encapsulate a period in my life that I don’t often revisit fondly, but they serve as a powerful yardstick for measuring the progress we have all made.”
Embodied by haunting strings, captivating percussion, and ethereal pedal steel the album comprises some of his most explorative songwriting yet. Reflecting on his own songwriting process Wolf comments, “Writing in such a strictly conceptual format, I’ve never dived to such depths within songs.”
Referencing the six newly released tracks on the album Wolf remarks, “it really dwells on the weight of the challenges of this time which I think is the rawest I’ve explored personally.”
Single I’ll Be There, saw Wolf take home first prize in the Listen Up National Songwriting Competition 2022. With its thought-provoking lyrics and emotionally charged melodies, I’ll Be There invites listeners to overcome their inner demons amidst life’s tempestuous storms.
Wolf further adds, “If these songs can assist anyone in processing pain or finding solace during these challenging times, I believe it is worth sharing them with the world.”
The release follows Timothy Wolf’s critically acclaimed debut album recorded in Byron Bay with Dan Frizza (Tones and I, Mitre Boy) yielding the breakthrough track In Your Arms Again and a sold-out show at Melbourne’s Night Cat.
Catch Timothy Wolf and The Blue Roses for a night at the Thornbury Theatre October 12, for one night only. Featuring supports from Maddy Petch and James Joseph. Grab tickets here.
