THE DUAL LIFE

About Jon

JON WOLF — NORTH JERSEY

Jon Wolf has spent his whole working life doing two jobs that people insist are opposites.

One is the stage. Jon is a performing keyboardist, guitarist and vocalist — and he gigs constantly. A lot of that is The British Invasion Years, the touring Beatles and British Invasion era show where he's a member and one of the people who keeps the machine running. The road comes in stretches: some runs last weeks at a time, and the dates aren't always domestic — wherever the show is booked, Jon goes.

There's a quieter craft underneath the gig, too. Jon assists in laying out the band's multi-voice harmony charts — so if the vocals lock in just right on a chorus, there's a decent chance that arrangement crossed his desk.

The other job is the studio. Between road runs, Jon runs Live Web Studios — and the short version of two-plus decades looks like this:

  • Web design, development, hosting, and SEO under one roof since 2004
  • Hundreds of sites built, migrated, and ranked for businesses across the region
  • The newest layer: AI consulting — workflows designed around how a business actually operates, with the team trained to run them

The two jobs feed each other more than you'd think. A live rig is a system that cannot fail at 9 PM on a Saturday — that's just production engineering with stage lights. And a good website, like a good arrangement, is mostly about knowing what to leave out.

Based in North Jersey, on the road often. Reach Jon at jonwolf@livewebstudios.com.

People think music is about talent. It's not. It's about showing up — to rehearsal, to the gig, to the moment when everything falls apart at soundcheck and you fix it anyway.
