Who are the bands?:
This year's Wolfstock may well be the best
yet. Eye of the Needle is opening the show
at 1pm and is featuring the talents of none other than Roger
Greenwalt (of Farm fame). This progressive rock band will blow your
mind covering the amazing music of Camel. Then its
American Lion. Jake Schofield (previously of Doc Jones and
Jam Sammich) and other local musical talents make up this original
blues band. Next it's Tommy Gunn with Megan Barrow.
This local band has been jamming the area for years. Their new front
gal, Megan, has been a regular at Wolfstocks in the past and is a
sure crowd pleaser everytime. Next up is Bathtub Gin.
Shane Emrick leads this duo. Shane is a talent on guitar and vocals
but the truth is he saved Del Herbert's life when he choked so he
gets a spot there by default for that heroic act :-) In all
seriousness Bathtub Gin have earned their spot with their talents
and I am sure you will love their music. Then its
Justin Torres Loop Project. You just have to see and hear
this to believe it. His act with leave you wondering, "How did he do
all that?". Next up is Pumphouse Monster. This band
brings the heat. Some of the best I have ever known. It is
intoxicating. A perfect blend of hot R&B mixed with raw heavy blues
and a healthy dose of straight forward rock-n-roll. Then we have
Green Lincoln. This Fairfield area band has quickly
made a name for themselves as one of the best acts to ever play the
area. Their original and cover music is an eclectic mix of melodic
voice and pure jam music that will leave you hungry for more. Next
is Mt. Vernon's very own Gene Hood. This original
solo rock artist has been writing, recording and performing throughout
the United States for 3 decades. His act at Wolfstock will be his
first performance in Mt. Vernon in over a decade. Gene is flying
back from his new home in Seattle for this lone performance at
Wolfstock. Gene will be debuting his 4th studio album at Wolfstock.
Finally its the Brat Pack. This Southern Illinois
powerhouse will have you dancing to some of your favorite 80s hits.
All our acts are encouraged to bring acoustic guitars to jam around
the campfire after the show is over so expect another good Campfire
Jam to end your night. You don't want to miss Wolfstock this
year....I promise.

The History of Bob Troutt and Wolfstock
Wolfstock is a music festival held to honor the memory of our friend Bob Troutt (a.k.a the Wolfman). Bob was a Green Beret in Vietnam and a well-known local artist. He painted the murals found in the lobby of our Granada Theater and in the lobby of the Jefferson County Courthouse. Bob was known world-wide for many of his commercial artworks featured in Soldier of Fortune and other publications. Examples of his artwork can still be seen at his website http://greywolf-graphics.com/
Bob was a hero of the common man. He wanted to lift everyone around him to be all they ever dreamed they could be. Bob could find the good in you and would make sure it shown through.
Bob loved all forms of art. He had a special love of local music. It was not at all uncommon to see Bob at local shows drawing or painting. His artwork adorned the covers of albums of local artists such as Gene Hood's "Out of the Clouds" album. Bob held many outdoor parties at his farm featuring local music.
Sadly we lost Bob to cancer in 2007. Shortly after his death a few of us decided we needed a tribute to Bob's memory. Wolfstock and the Bob Troutt Memorial Foundation were born from that decision. The music festival is held once a year to raise funds to give to charity. The proceeds go to the American Cancer Society and the Bob Troutt Memorial Art Scholarship. The Bob Troutt Memorial Foundation is a legal 501c3 as determined by the IRS.
