Album: Beyond the Zen Rodeo

W. Dire Wolff with Sundance Jump has been called "psychedelic folk rock" or "psychedelic Nashville". The guitar based Folk and Rock n' Roll songs are accented by the classically trained electric violinist. The music highlights Wolff's folk/rock ballad songwriting style with various extended jams, winds through country/western daydreams, jazzy tones, highway rock, hippiebilly hoedowns, songs sung in Japanese, and Americana music from the new frontier.
Sundance Jump is the latest recording project by W. Dire Wolff Band. The band plays original material and a variety of covers. With influences and covers ranging from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, Gram Parsons, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Hank Williams, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Presley, the band tries to emulate, as opposed to imitate, their favorite artists. This sound has been called psychedelic folk rock.
