Josiah Wolf (WHY?) & Liz Wolf

Josiah Wolf, known as essential WHY? member and multiinstrumentalist unparalleled, has released his solo-debut "Jet Lag" in 2010, proving that warm folk melodies and easy psychedelia can still excite. Starting to learn the drums at the age of nine, Josiah constantly developed his musical skills and excelled at merging marimba, drums and soft guitar riffs. This potential is also mirrored in his live versions, where his one-man show is likely to sound like a full band. However, not willing to rely on samples and prerecorded tracks, he soon asked Liz Hodson, later to become his wife, to join his musical journey. A quite good decision, since her voice, reminding of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval, serves as a perfect addition to his rhythms. Listening to Liz playing Rhodes piano, Microkorg and bass, juxtaposed by Josiah holding it down on marimba, drum kit and guitar, is never the same. Every show is different and an experiment, constantly spawning blueprints for new songs. In fall 2010, they already released the "Under Lovers Covers" EP, paying tribute to bands and artists like Nirvana, Bill Withers or Nick Drake. But before releasing their first full-length, the duo is now preparing for a trip to Europe, in order to present their multilayered magic.
