Little Red Wolf is a 4-member alt/folk outfit from Madison, Wisconsin. They use rich vocal harmonies, dynamic songwriting, and creative arrangements to create their unique sound. Their live performances are memorable for the beautiful 3-part vocal arrangements and multi-instrumental approach, with appearances by acoustic & electric guitar, viola, bass, accordion, mandolin, keyboard, keytar and kit.

Little Red Wolf returns from an 8-year hiatus with a new album, “The Tops of the Trees”. A mix of LRW’s familiar folk-pop/country and rock styles, the songs explore everything from the mental health challenges of the pandemic to embracing changing bodies and relationships, to the love of one’s pets. Balancing the somber and the sublime, the silly and the serious, this ultimately hopeful album reflects the deep love and respect the band members have for each other and their communities.
