Brad Wolfe is a singer-songwriter, community activist, and multidisciplinary creator whose music explores loss, love, mortality, resilience, and what it means to live fully. His project, Brad Wolfe & the Moon, has been featured on MTV, performed at sold-out venues, and shared stages with Dispatch, Gin Blossoms, and members of Dave Matthews Band and Counting Crows. The San Jose Mercury News compared Wolfe’s intelligent lyrics and distinctive songwriting to Paul Simon and Cat Stevens.

Wolfe’s musical story began in college, when his close childhood friend Sara was diagnosed with a rare pediatric cancer. For two years, until her death at 21, he brought his guitar to the hospital to write and sing songs for her. Music gave them a way to remain connected through an otherwise unimaginable experience.

In Sara’s honor, Wolfe founded the Sunbeam Foundation to support novel pediatric cancer research and created Brad Wolfe & the Moon to share the songs she inspired. The foundation and musical project debuted together at a show opened by Grammy-winning artist Sara Bareilles. Since then, Sunbeam has raised more than $1 million for pediatric cancer research.

Playing music for children and families facing cancer showed Wolfe that music could do more than soothe. It could help people open up, share what they were carrying, and create meaning from experiences that might otherwise leave them isolated. That discovery eventually led Wolfe to found Reimagine, a national nonprofit helping people navigate grief, loss, and life’s hardest experiences. Reimagine has reached more than 250,000 people through over 4,500 programs, including some of the country’s largest community gatherings focused on loss and mortality.

These different strands of Wolfe’s life come together in The Loss, Life & Love Mixtapes, a three-EP collection more than a decade in the making. Produced with longtime collaborator Gawain Mathews, whose credits include Mickey Hart and Ben Lee, the project blends folk, pop, Americana, and alternative rock, held together by Wolfe’s acoustic guitar, warm vocals, and lyrical storytelling. The Moon is a revolving group of musical collaborators who expand the songs from intimate reflections into full-band expressions of longing, urgency, joy, and renewal.

The first installment, Loss, moves across many forms of loss: the death of someone we love, the ending of a relationship, the passage of time, and the collapse of something once cherished. The songs draw from Wolfe’s own life, including the survival of his grandparents at Auschwitz, as well as stories entrusted to him through Reimagine. Together, they explore how facing what we have lost can deepen connection and awaken us to the lives we still have to live.
