Biography

Gerald Wolfe is a pianist, songwriter, and lead singer. He began his career with the Dumplin Valley Boys. In 1986 George Younce and Glen Payne hired Wolfe as pianist for the Cathedral Quartet when Roger Bennett left the group for two years. While with the Cathedrals, Wolfe sang the lead vocal part on the hit song "Champion Of Love" (Symphony Of Praise).

In 1988, Wolfe left the Cathedrals to pursue a solo career. In 1990 he founded the group Greater Vision, along with former Cathedral baritone Mark Trammell and tenor Chris Allman. He remains with the group today.

In 1995, Wolfe participated in the Cathedrals Reunion project, singing "Champion Of Love." In 2007 his group Greater Vision joined with Legacy Five, the Mark Trammell Trio, Ernie Haase and Signature Sound, and Danny Funderburk for several Cathedrals tribute concerts over the next few years. The Cathedrals Family Reunion recording was released in 2013 including Wolfe with Mark Trammell, Danny Funderburk, Ernie Haase, and Scott Fowler. In 2016, the members of Greater Vision combined with former Greater Vision baritone Mark Trammell and bass singer Pat Barker to perform as the Second Half Quartet at select dates.

Wolfe serves on the Board Of Directors at the National Quartet Convention. He also heads a concert tour branded as Gerald Wolfe's Gospel Music Hymn Sing. He has hosted several radio and television events over the years as well.
