Cousin Wolf is the indie-folk music project of Matt Halvorson, an off-grid, forest-dwelling artist and activist who has been described as "a new-age storyteller with seemingly never-ending tales to tell." Nice, huh?
The band often features Andre Calderon on bass, Barry Cooper on horns, Kelly Erb on violin, Benjamin Gore on bells and whistles, Jon Jupiter on guitar, and Kenneth Maldonado on drums.
The current Cousin Wolf project is an album called “Nine Innings,” a collection of nine songs about nine ballplayers being released as nine singles.
The songs are “nuanced, exploring the gray in a game that is often black and white and the players labeled heroes or bums.” Stay tuned for the full album out soon, produced by Jeff Woollen of Raven Cries Studios.
Matt wrote and released a song a week during 2019 as part of the Rise Up Music Project, and selected songs from that year are being remixed and released gradually as well, beginning with “Winter” in late 2020.
Cousin Wolf’s debut album, "Sermons" (released Feb. 2020), is “an 11-song offering packed full of songs played from the heart,” according to Northwest Music Scene.
