The Listening Room at 443 welcomes Todd Wolfe and Carla Olson to Syracuse on Friday May 17, 2019.

Carla Olson is a singer, songwriter, guitar player and producer. Her 1984 debut album, Midnight Mission, was as leader of the Textones and included Gene Clark, Ry Cooder and Don Henley as guests. A few years later Gene and Carla recorded what many view as the first Americana album, So Rebellious A Lover. Since then Carla has released solo albums and a live record with Mick Taylor.

Carla is one of the few currently active women record producers and includes among her credits Paul Jones, (Manfred Mann), Phil Upchurch, Jake Andrews, Joe Louis Walker, Chubby Tavares, Barry Goldberg (Electric Flag, The Rides), Mare Winningham, Ana Gazzola, Big Kettle Drum, and Australian slide guitar wizard Ash Grunwald. Her recent duets album, Have Harmony, Will Travel, featured Richie Furay, Rob Waller, Juice Newton, John York and James Intveld. Carla has also just produced a new album for The Textones with all new songs and the original band members. Old Stone Gang was released in September 2018 on Blue Elan Records and features Rusty Young from Poco, Barry Goldberg, and the Hollies’ Allan Clarke. The album was featured on Billboard.com and is receiving great reviews.

Todd Wolfe spent five years touring the world with Sheryl Crow including writing and recording with Sheryl on her self titled sophomore album as well as “The Globe Sessions.” Since Todd’s departure from Sheryl’s band, he has spent the past 15 years touring the world with his own band and released nine albums.

Todd has also recorded with legendary guitarist-singer Leslie West, lending his guitar to two Mountain albums and three of Leslie’s solo records. Todd’s songs have been covered by artists, Stevie Nicks, Faith Hill, Deborah Coleman, and Larry McCray.
