Sundance Jump Recording - Music for the New Beyond

Band Information:

Sundance Jump was formed as the recording arm of the W. Dire Wolff Band with Burr Guthrie , Christian Gutt, and Johnny Rock. People moved around and died, and the band changed personnel.  Becoming more focused on recording, international session musicians were imtroduced in the music. The remote recordings have been mixed with our ever changing  team, to create a distinct Sundance Jump sound. W. Dire Wolff with Sundance Jump has evolved out of the W. Dire Wolff Band. Studio recording and performances are the focus of this project.

From 2011 to 2025; W. Dire Wolff Band played and recorded mostly in Northern California's Marin and Sonoma Counties. The band has played at parties from Humboldt County to Marin, and played select night club and venue performances. One of their major albums was recorded in Joshua Tree, California.

W. Dire Wolff Band was called "psychedelic folk rock" or "Dylan in Bakersfield". The guitar based Folk and Rock n' Roll songs were accented by the classically trained electric violinist. The music highlighted Wolff's folk/rock ballad songwriting style with various extended jams, winding through country/western daydreams, jazzy tones, highway rock, hippiebilly hoedowns, songs sung in Japanese, and Americana music from the new frontier.

W. Dire Wolff Band played 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 tried to emulate, as opposed to imitate, their favorite artists. This sound has been called psychedelic folk rock.

W. Dire Wolff Band provided a musical backdrop for parties, clubs, and events; the band plays original material and a variety of covers. Music designed to encourage people to relax and have a good time. By playing a variety of well known and underground songs from early folk music to 60's and 70's rock music, the band interjected some original music that seamlessly brought together the "Northern California Jam Band" sound. Somebody danced at every show the band played.
