Wolftrap

"Miguel Samuel and Bailey Mae Gardener, creators of the LA-based music group, Wolftrap, share the origin story of their band name with mischief on their tongues. It involves a tattoo, their dog, and a full Wolf Moon. They tell it in tandem, harmoniously weaving sound bites in and out of one another. With an assuredness and a knack for storytelling, anyone who stops to listen to the two is guaranteed a good time and, as their music begins to play, first encounter’s usual skepticism is replaced with a roguish curiosity. This curiosity stirs the soul to enter a world that the duo created, a world born of love of music and nurtured through love of life. Their songs keep you here, tunefully rotating through galaxies of something both familiar and strange. It’s playful. It’s naughty. It’s two kids in love. It doesn’t give a fuck, yet it does. It gives all the fucks in the world, yet it doesn’t. It lives as it is: charmingly resonant, like Miguel and Bailey themselves... ...each moment with Wolftrap’s music feel like hanging with old friends. This feeling begins with the trust Miguel and Bailey have for one another, in soul and in sound; a trust that is necessary to the making of good music. This deep conviction in one another began from the moment they met on Martha’s Vineyard to their recent move to LA. It’s beyond faith; it’s a nerved belief in self, in others, and in the power of making something worth sharing and something worth listening to." -Christina Holland
