Todd Stewart Wolfe (born January 22, 1957 in Queens, New York) is an American blues rock guitarist and singer-songwriter.
During a professional career that has spanned three decades, Wolfe has had numerous album releases with his own band in the blues and rock genre. He has also worked as the lead guitarist for Carla Olson from 1991 to 1993 and for Sheryl Crow from 1993 to 1998.
As a writer, Wolfe's songs have been covered by Faith Hill, Stevie Nicks, Deborah Coleman, and others.
Since departing Sheryl Crow's band, Wolfe has been gaining popularity as a solo artist and guitarist in North America and Europe—especially in Germany—where he and his band have toured extensively since 2001.
Wolfe was born in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York, an area of New York City renowned for its musicians, with former residents including Burt Bacharach, The Ramones, Leslie West, and Simon & Garfunkel.
Wolfe's parents contributed to his musical tastes. As his father was a native New Yorker and his mother from the small town of Marshall, Texas, Todd heard many types of music as a boy. The different styles of music regularly heard in the Wolfe household encouraged Todd's love of music. Like many Americans of that era, the appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show accelerated Wolfe's growing appreciation for music. He was particularly inspired by the sounds emanating from the guitars of George Harrison and John Lennon. His appreciation deepened with the arrival in the United States of the British Invasion with bands such as The Animals, The Dave Clark Five, The Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones.

Todd Wolfe - Shame - live for blues moose radio in VOF de poort Mook (NL) 12 april 2009
i know alotta people, not many i can trust
and outa those i trust, not many i would touch
they say i talk in circles but i write it line by line
and if i don't really know you i'mma lie and say I'm fine
I spit rhymes, hoping that someone who thinks like me
relates to the emotions interlocked within the pscyche
i spit rhymes, to catch chicks and catch hope
and catch the ear of that kid that say's damn that shit is dope
not to mention, i love the attention
went from hiding in the boxcars to driving the engine
And i sit in the same chair under the same light
at the same time of night when i write, probably will for life
Twenty five and I ain't getting any younger
living to survive, can you spare a penny brother
now in the name fo all world wide rhyme sayers
I'mma drive past king park and spray the soccer players
how many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe
Finally finalized the line by line
of trying to climb in between ya mind's thighs
Self esteme, watch it grow like mold
watch the loads it holds as the soul unfolds
tracked my fate as I wade through a pack a day
have to wait, call me back next saturday
Pass the stake, I'm about to stick this vampire
touch the heart and lay the carcass on the campfire
Burn baby burn, and take ya sins with ya
if the shoe don't fit ya, remove it to loose the business
Get the car started, warm it up for the journey
wake up abuse and shake off the blues
And makes stops to fill the tank, stops to urinate
stops to meditate and let the thoughts resonate
stops to celebrate, stops just for heavens sake
stops in an attempt to take the bent shit and get it straight
the asthema regulates the breath control
so thanks for buying the tapes and eat ya vegitables
ayo, i write it for me and if you like it, it's love
and if you don't then its life 'cause life don't like slug
its the super unleaded imbedded within my headtrips
kept it in check but the skeptics and the essence
when it festers, the infection fills with fluid
apply the pressure it bursts, to satisfy the thirst
twenty twenty sight so i got no excuse
my soul has broken loose from over use
tell me who can hold the noose while i make certain it fits me
judgement, first impression, naturally shifty
Each one tried to teach one when it begun
struggling for freedom, tryin to build a kingdom
Now ya sipping Seagrams, trying to fix a threesome
between you, ya girl and the freak with the Nissan
Wheels keep spinning, accelerator stick
so sugar up the coffee and cellephane ya dick
and lace the spliff but make sure that dosage is right
