About
WOLFCHILD is 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 have performed on stages such as The Troubadour, Mississippi Studios, "The Egg" (Albany, NY), Folklore (UK), and Java (Paris); at festivals like Imagine Music & Arts, Cascade Equinox, Oregon Country Faire, SXSW, Burning Man, Summer Meltdown, Northwest Folklife, and many more.
At the heart of the project is Gabriel Wolfchild and his brother Elion TruthHeart. Wolfchild weaves music that feels like memory: raw, poetic, and elemental. 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.
Rooted in folk, shaped by spirit, and carried by the wind of the Pacific Northwest, Wolfchild's music holds a sense of reverence: for grief, for beauty, for love, for truth. Whether they are singing of inner transformation or the aching beauty of the land, Wolfchild reminds us that vulnerability is power, and that song can be a portal back to what matters most.
