“They carry the folk label but this is folk that someone has tinkered with under the bonnet.” - The Hook, Ian Thomas

Albi & The Wolves set fire to stages and fill hearts with hope with their energetic and relatable alternative indie folk songs.

Chris Dent, the proud albino frontman Albi, Pascal Roggen and Michael Young have crafted a stage show that’s brimming with energy and moments to pause for reflection.

The trio has a huge sound that is simply created by an acoustic guitar, electric violin, double bass and their three voices.

Since 2014 they have gone from strength to strength touring in Australia, New Zealand and Rarotonga and in 2018 they took home the Best Folk Artist Award at the NZVMA’s.

What makes the band special is the sense of community that follows them everywhere they go - whether it’s connection through dance, laughter, or singing audiences feel radiant after shows and keep coming back for more.
