Q&A: Julia Wolf Takes The Stage At New York's Webster Hall
WITH LYRICS THAT KEEP YOU HOLDING ONTO EACH NOTE AND AN ENERGY THAT TRULY ENCAPSULATES YOU - Julia Wolf sure knows how to get you hooked. The Queens based artist joins Fletcher for a tour across the country, bringing her sultry tunes to fans all over. Her latest track “R.I.P. To The Club” showcases the soft and sweet range of Wolf, allowing the listener to lose themselves to her charming vocals.
Luna had a chance to catch up with Wolf before her show in New York to reflect on the tour and hear about what’s coming up for the rising artist.
LUNA: Thanks for taking the time for this + congrats on hitting the road! What did you miss most about performing?
WOLF: I missed seeing people face to face! Getting to meet everyone at each show is always so moving; it helps me understand more about the ways music can really affect people. It’s crazy to think your lyrics can actually help someone the way you were intending, and nothing validates that more than a real life conversation.
LUNA: Which track has gotten the best reaction from the crowd?
WOLF: It has to be my closing song Hoops! The crowd gets into it, waving their hands, singing along. I had a gut feeling that it would be the favorite.
LUNA: You're about a week into tour, so what city are you most looking forward to playing in?
WOLF: Hands down was most looking forward to Nashville! It’s iconic of course. I’ve always heard such great things about their food. And I love how passionate they are about their music. Apparently every country star owns their own bar downtown and gosh I just think that’s so fun.
LUNA: Take us through a typical show day.
WOLF: After I wake up and get breakfast I start getting ready and that’s when the nerves kick in. It’s been unavoidable honestly, I’ve yet to shake them. But as soon as I hit the stage they leave!! So a typical show day is full of anticipation, playing Jack Harlow in the green room, sneaking in a margarita, and sometimes even playing Twilight in the background while I run through the set a million times over in my head. My team has been incredible though, really putting me at ease and helping me feel comfortable as I literally hyperventilate backstage for no reason.
LUNA: How do you find time for self care when on the road?
WOLF: The good thing about being on the road is all the downtime you get in the car. So it’s really been okay. I’ve split my time between rewatching footage or editing posts, and reading my newest book or listening to the latest podcast.
LUNA: As you get the opportunity to play more shows, how do you hope to see your live performance evolve?
WOLF: I think the first step will be adding additional players on stage! I’m thinking guitar and bass to really level things up. I’d also love to play keys more as that’s my main instrument. And not exactly sure how to incorporate this yet but I’m starting to take DJ lessons as that’s something i’ve always wanted to learn, and think it would be SO FUN to somehow dj an after party once the set ends!!
LUNA: What intentions do you have for the upcoming months?
WOLF: I’m in album mode!! I’ve been itching to have a fuller body of work that has more storytelling about myself and who I am versus my current catalog that speaks more on situations I've been through. There’s so much music on the way, and ideas I have of connecting more with fans who continue to have my back and show love!
