We are proud to announce that we are #1 in Tallahassee and Thomasville in the blues genre on Reverbnation, #4 in the whole country, and #9 in the globe.. With "Wailin' Bert" Calderon leading the music, the Wailin' Wolves Band continue performing exciting shows with a great variety of songs.

Chicago bred and born, "Wailin' Bert" Calderon brings his roots and style from the home of blues, Chicago. He has been playing professionally since the age of 15 and spent his teen years in New York bringing a number of years of both pro and amateur guitar playing to the Wailin' Wolves band. Having shared stages with the likes of The Young Rascals, the Butterfield Blues Band, The Blues Project, Demian Bell, Randall "Big Daddy Blues" Webster, Jeff Conaway, Spirit, and numerous others he brings his unique style, a blend of Chicago bluez, classic rock and 60's / 70's rock to his unique arrangements. He has played at the famous Cafe Wah, The Bitter End, and Cafe Au Go Go in the village, numerous clubs in Fl and NY, and college campuses, amongst many other well known stages. He opened up for The Young Rascals in 1966 at Brooklyn Academy Of Music in NY, has written a number of songs and plays lead, rhythm, and bass guitar for a number of years pleasing crowds of all sizes.

We just added a new female lead vocalist, Tracy Yacobellis, a twenty five yr old. graduate of FSU, with classical vocal training and a phenomenal vocal range. She produces a high energy show and awesome vocal talent. Listen to her as she grows with The Wailin' Wolves Band, a great new rising star!!

"Slim Shaw" From was the original founder of The Wailin' Wolves band and plays a great blues harp and adds some very soulful vocals and harmonies. He joins us when he is available. He has been influenced by many of the blues greatest artists and plays for the love of music.

Shawn Scott, drummer extraordinaire and our original drummer, has returned from a move out of state, and holds our bottom end together as tight as a gnat!

Bob White, our backup drummer has over 60 years experience on stage and in studio, having played with some of the biggest bands in the country. We are proud to have him with us as he and Robert keep our bottom end tight and thumping. A perfect combination as they were both formerly from the band Time Warp, a popular local band.

We have also joined forces with Robert Bloodworth, formerly with the band Time Warp, as our bass guitar player, and lead male vocalist. Robert is multi talented and has a vast repertoire of songs. He has played professionally for a number of years and adds a high energy presentation to our show.

Jay Schwartz is our new keyboard player with almost 40 years of experience. Jay has played in bands since his teen years, was brought up in New York and played in many of the biggest clubs in New York and Florida. He adds a great deal to our sound and uniqueness.

Bryant Williams has a number of years experience as a professional lead, rhythm, and bass guitar player. Bryant holds our bottom end tight, He has played on many stages around the country and has a vast knowledge of all different kinds of music, yet blues is his passion. We appreciate his input into the band and his excellence in playing.

The band has a great diversity in their music that helps create their sound making the Wailin' Wolves Band gain in popularity every show.

Every show we put in 110% and promise a high energy, rocking show!
