WARREN WOLF

Arts Barn, Washington, DC

About the Show

The incredible Warren Wolf is the headliner for the Arts Barn's 20th Anniversary outdoor Arts Festival! If it rains, the concert will be held onstage inside the Arts Barn. Tickets are no charge, but are required for inside seating in the event of rain.

Through his three prior album releases and his attention-grabbing work with the likes of Christian McBride, Bobby Watson, Karriem Riggins, Jeremy Pelt, and the SFJAZZ Collective, Warren Wolf has established himself as the foremost straight-ahead vibraphonist of his generation, a bop torchbearer well equipped to carry the mantle of forebears like Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson.

On his latest album, however, Wolf reveals an entirely different side to his multi-faceted talents. As the title implies, Reincarnation represents a rebirth of sorts for the Baltimore vibesman. In part it frees Wolf to indulge his love for the R&B and soul hits that served as the soundtrack to his formative years in the 1990s. It’s also a celebration of a new lease on life, a happiness and contentment that he’s discovered through a new marriage and his five beloved children.
