sounds with other people... some recent, some not

Ray Wolf, a native of Copley, Ohio, a small rural township outside of Akron, has been performing as a vocalist and musician since the age of twelve. As both a performer and an audio mixer, he was involved in the music scene in Northeast Ohio during the Post-Punk era when that region was a hotbed for burgeoning New Wave artists like DEVO, The Dead Boys, Pere Ubu, The Waitresses, Teacher's Pet, The Rubber City Rebels and others. A 4-piece, guitar & vocal-driven band, Hammer Damage, was one of the most popular and talented (although unsigned) local acts and Ray was their sound tech and crew manager. When the bassist departed, Ray filled that position and recorded what was to be their debut indie album with them, but unfortunately, the group disbanded before its release. 

All of 1981 was spent on the road throughout the Midwest, from upstate New York to middle Missouri, performing 6-7 nights a week in a touring nightclub act. Upon returning to Akron, Ray had a 4-piece Rock band that played all around Northern Ohio, doing everything from concert opening slots and bar gigs to frat parties and proms. Ray joined the well-known Cleveland club band, Perfect Stranger, early in 1985 and that summer the group migrated to Southern California to pursue a recording contract and perform their original material in the L.A. clubs. During that time, they shared stages with artists such as BTO, Fiona and Steve Jones, formerly of the Sex Pistols. While playing places like Gazzari's, Madame Wong's and The FM Station, the band attracted the interest of drummer Michael Huey, known for his work with Walter Egan and Glenn Frey. With his production assistance, they recorded demos at Orange County's Headway Group, the renowned Can Am Recorders and the legendary Cherokee Studios in Hollywood. 

From 1989 through 2007, Ray worked in the television industry for acclaimed independent producer/director, Andrew Solt, as an Emmy-nominated and Grammy-winning video editor and audio engineer. Throughout this period, Ray was responsible for the finishing and delivery of hundreds of hours of long-form prime time network and cable programming that have been viewed by millions all around the world. While at Solt's production company, based in the heart of the Sunset Strip, just up the block from the Roxy Theater and the Whisky A Go-Go, Ray always kept a hand in music, and was ultimately privileged to perform at both those world-famous venues. 

For the past several years, Ray has been freelancing behind the camera, producing and directing internet videos for the endorsement of products and services. He has also been providing the equipment and the expertise for sound reinforcement presentations of various types including concerts, club dates and community events, while continuing to record and perform with local musical artists.
