about wolverton
You can almost say the band was an accident and for that reason was the only thing that could have happened — though in many ways Wolverton was already forming via friendships by the time they played their first gig in an over-sized bathroom on the top floor of a hotel in downtown San Antonio.
Wolverton writes and performs original music at the crossroads of three generations of listening and is fed by various geographies of origin and diverse backgrounds that include art, theatre, dance, poetry, and tinkering --- in addition to music. All these elements find their way into the writing and performing — and all band members contribute songs. Lyrically, Wolverton is unanchored, very visual and moving equally through memory, story, association and dark streaks of tradition.
In the fall of 2013 they released their first full band EP, Horse Head Dawn, which was included in the FolkWorld Best of 2013 Editor's Choice list. In 2015 they released a new EP, Things Left On Earth, and were included in two compilations: Roots In The Shadows of San Antonio, Vol. 2 and The Active Listener Acid Folk Sampler, Volume Two. They are currently recording a full length album, Wizard Land.
