Fay Wolf first drew attention as an actress,  appearing in roles on TV shows from All My Children to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as well as the well-received online series Rose by Any Other Name … (She is classically trained in acting, holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Boston University.) But after a few years of being seen on camera, she began being heard on soundtracks—her music, which she half-jokingly refers to as “sad piano songs,” has been featured on Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Liars and other shows. She’s been drawing audiences from coast to coast, filling venues like Hotel Café in Los Angeles and the Living Room in New York City even as she keeps up a day job as a professional organizer (her high-profile clients include fellow actress and musician Zooey Deschanel). Her  just-released full-length debut, Spiders, was produced by  Billy Mohler and Joshua Ostrander.
