Jack Wolfe is making sweet music—and we mean that quite literally.
The rising British star has teamed up with indie-folk icon Passenger for a new track titled “Song for the Countryside”, released just hours ago as part of the upcoming musical adaptation of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.
Wolfe lends his haunting vocals and magnetic presence to the official music video, marking a major moment in his multi-hyphenate career as both an actor and singer.
The video premiered alongside the announcement that the musical will be heading to London’s West End in 2026 after a successful run at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Written by Rachel Joyce and adapted with music by Michael Rosenberg (aka Passenger), Harold Fry tells the story of a man who sets out on a spontaneous journey of self-discovery through the English countryside—and the song beautifully captures that moment of awakening and joy.
Wolfe plays the Balladeer in the stage version and delivers an emotionally resonant performance in the song, which Passenger describes as “a remembering of the beauty that has always been right outside his front door.”
But that’s not all that’s brewing in Wolfe’s world.
He’s also just been announced as a lead in the Broadway production of Hadestown, one of theatre’s most beloved and mythically queer musicals.
And let’s not forget the love story behind the scenes—Jack has been in a sweet, openly queer relationship with fellow actor and writer Cavan Clarke.
The couple regularly shares tender moments and red carpet snaps on social media, and the Broadway/West End double-whammy feels like a shared victory for them both.
From Shadow and Bone to Shakespeare, and now from West End ballads to Broadway myth, Wolfe is proving that gay talent is not just visible—it’s soaring.
So whether you’re swooning over his vocals or cheering him on from afar, make no mistake: Jack Wolfe is having a major queer moment, and we are absolutely here for it.
