Artistic Encounters with elias wolf

elias wolf (they/them) is a singer-songwriter, live-looper, and musical spellcaster crafting what they call “queer song magic for the revolution” —a molten blend of soaring melody, dissonant harmony, and lyric truth-telling that refuses to flinch. Writing with blood, breath, and devotion, elias weaves close, lush harmonies with lyrics forged in the raw ache of their own healing, transformation, and liberation.

A performer for over 25 years, elias has appeared on storied stages including SFJAZZ Center, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Yoshi’s, both solo and with acclaimed vocal groups. A dynamic performing artist and tender of collective energy, elias is most alive when the line between artist and audience dissolves into something shared, intimate, and electric. Formerly releasing music under the name Lisa Forkish, elias has five albums to their name and is currently recording their next release, to the water, arriving 11/11/26.
