Carolina Liar is the project of Charleston, SC native and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter
Chad Wolf. After working for legendary songwriter Diane Warren and recording in Stockholm
with Max Martin — one of the biggest pop producers of all time — Wolf broke through with the
2008 Atlantic Records debut Coming to Terms, which spawned the double platinum-certified
"Show Me What I'm Looking For" and gold-certified "I'm Not Over." The songs soundtracked
The Hills, 90210, Gossip Girl, and What Happens In Vegas, and launched tours with Rob
Thomas, OneRepublic, Kelly Clarkson, and Gavin DeGraw. Outside of Carolina Liar, Wolf also
formed the alternative rock duo The Federal Empire with Grammy-nominated songwriter McKay
Stevens, whose songs remain a regular part of Carolina Liar's live sets.
"Show Me What I'm Looking For" went viral on TikTok in 2021 — generating over 70,000
creates and driving millions of daily Spotify streams at its peak — and still pulls over 144,000
streams per week with zero promotion eighteen years after its release, surpassing 169 million
total streams across platforms. Wolf has collaborated twice with Martin Garrix — on 2016's
"Hold On & Believe" featuring The Federal Empire, and 2024's "Smile," performing live during
Garrix's sold-out run at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.
Now operating as a stripped-down two-piece with drummer Brian Ulery under the banner of
"Garage Gospel" — a raw reinvention built on honest songwriting, delivered with the intensity of
a sermon and the intimacy of a living room — Wolf is entering a new chapter. New single "I Am
King," out June 26th, is the first true expression of that direction. Carolina Liar's music is also
heading to the big screen in the upcoming comedy Concert Heroes, starring Chris Kattan and
Horatio Sanz, where the songs serve as the soundtrack for the film's fictional band and Wolf
makes a cameo appearance. A limited-edition vinyl re-release of Coming to Terms with
exclusive tracks is expected later this year.
Carolina Liar is currently touring the Midwest and performing at Summerfest 2026 on July 4th.
