With his engaging, versatile, and inimitable American style, award-winning performing songwriter Robert K. (Rob) Wolf has garnered attention from listeners, writers, performers, and industry players alike. At the age of 19, Wolf signed his first publishing contract. He earned a BA in Music, with honors, from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he received two full tuition merit scholarships and two awards for Outstanding Achievement in Music. Moving to Nashville in 1996, Rob has co-written with many–including Don Wayne, Brett Jones, Barbara Cloyd, Rand Bishop, C.J. Watson, James Otto, Jason Matthews, Lisa Carver, and Jonathan Long. “Not Too Far From Texas”, a co-write with Andy Gullahorn, led to a contract with Major Bob Music. Rob and his wife Lori J. Ingberg (whom he met in Nashville) earned Honorable Mentions in both the Great American and the CMT/NSAI Song Contests with “The Safest Place I Know”. Recently he took Grand Prize at the Music City Song Contest with “Another Whiskey Morning”, a Steven Strobel co-write. Although he prides himself on writing material with wide appeal, Wolf is not quite satisfied with coma-inducing songwriting blandness. Songs such as his rapid-fire sing-along “I Think You Think” and the blazingly, politically, and religiously incorrect “Cross Dressing For Christmas” have kept audiences asking for more. His over-the-top-and-then-some “IntaMezo” attempted to shatter the long-held belief that hip-hop can’t be performed by an overweight, Brooklyn-born Jewish guy from New Jersey squirming in the buckle of the Bible Belt.
