Stage 8 presents: Wolf Critton

(WTNH) -- Sing/songwriter Wolf Critton welcomes his listeners into a life of pain, understanding, and triumph. Drawing from his youthful experiences growing up in the church near his home, Critton found inspiration from his musically-driven mother who lead the choir since he was three years old.

As a teenager, Critton chose to follow the path of life that most wild teens do. However, Wolf quickly learned how to survive in the mean streets of New York; and in a twist of fate, found himself enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served as a soldier in Iraq.

His experience on the battlefield and the death of his friend and teacher of the acoustic guitar taught him to understand how fragile life can be.

Wolf's music has a unique way of telling stories of his challenges of life on the streets, wild gang life experiences, and his opportunity to rise above it all in all he does today.

Wolf brings the soulful sounds of his real world experiences to all of his music and shows us all that life may take a twisted path, but only the strongest make it to become truly successful.
