Tim Wolfe is more than just an associate professor of sociology at the Mount. He is also a dedicated father and talented jazz musician.
Performing on the saxophone as Central Jazz Service with Peter Grahame, a guitar player and professor of sociology, Wolfe appeared on the outdoor patio at Spiritfield's Pub and Fare this past Friday night.
Both of Wolfe's sons, Tim Jr. and Matt, were present on Friday to perform with their father.
Wolfe said that playing with his sons is one of his favorite parts of playing.
His other favorite thing is playing when people are dancing.
"When I see people dancing, my heart just soars," Wolfe said.
Mount students can usually find emails about the time and location of performances in their inbox regularly.
Six Mount students and Fr. Rick were sighted checking out Wolfe's group this past Friday.
"I was in Gettysburg and remembered that Tim Wolfe was playing so I decided to stop by with my friends," said senior Pete Rowland. "I really liked his music and watching him perform."
Wolfe and Grahame played some of their favorites and also took requests.
The songs played included, "Mack the Knife," "Song for My Father," "Georgia on My Mind," "Chattanooga Choo Choo," and "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy."
Wolfe has been part of the Central Jazz Service since 2004, performing jazz, swing, latin, and blues at pubs, coffeehouses, colleges, weddings, banquets, and other special events in Central Pennsylvania and Central Maryland.
Wolfe also performs with his two sons as the Wolfe Trio and with musically talented faculty, such as Carl Glover, Byron Stay, Bob Keefer, and sometimes Andy Rosenfeld as the Fire City Jazz Band.
