Heidi Wolfson

About me: Heidi Wolfson is a Philadelphia singer-songwriter whose music incorporates a range of genres including folk, rock, country, punk and spoken word. Her songs are characterized by a literary bent and rock and roll spirit. Her musical debut was a live radio broadcast on WXPN in 1976. She wandered in, guitar in hand, and said "I write music". They interviewed her, recorded twelve of her songs and gave her an hour of airtime! From there, Heidi moved to the Greenwich Village in NY where she played in open mics and coffeehouses, before moving back to Philly in the early 1980's and playing such venues such as the London and the Painted Bride Arts Center. She soon formed Heidi and the Wolf, a hard-hitting 6-pc rock band that appeared at all of the city's hot spots for rock music. Her biggest musical influences are Mick Jagger, Patti Smith and Bob Dylan. Although these days she is playing an acoustic guitar (often 12-string) her performances have a gutsy undertone of rock and a hint of spoken word. She makes you simultaneously shake your hips and think. Heidi is currently a key member and host for PASA (Philadelphia Area Songwriter's Alliance). Anyone in the area is welcome to attend PASA events at Heidi's house. Heidi is also the published author of stories, poetry, and plays. Watch this site for links and downloads to Heidi's fiction. Heidi is a middle school Englsh teacher and mother of four.
