As a true supergroup drawing on three of the most impactful careers in American rock, HowlOwl Howl is an elusive musical creature: a brand-new band with an old school rock ‘n’ roll soul.Founded by GRAMMY-winning Hootie & the Blowfish frontman/multi-Platinum country starDarius Rucker, REM co-founder/Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Mike Mills, and The Black Crowesco-founding, former drummer/lauded media personality Steve Gorman, Howl Owl Howl wasborn from friendship and the pure joy of collaboration, and is now powered by the world-classinstincts of true originals, who are far from done making noise. Infusing roots rock with an open-minded alternative flair, the band’s first batch of music was 30 years in the making, matching afluid, feel-oriented rhythm section to the barrel-chested vocal rasp of an iconic frontman. Aftermoving in the same orbit through their hard-touring ‘90s heyday, an upcoming album capturesthe group’s wide range of sonic influence in melody-driven freeform style. From punchy garagerock and jangle pop to throwback soul, blues, and beyond, self-penned songs veer from deeplypersonal to colorful and quirky, on a set steeped in the rebellious passion and forever-youngphilosophy of rock...yet designed in a different phase of life. With more maturity and humility –but the same us-against-the-world swagger each member brought to their genre-defining first act– the near-mythical group will hit the road in late 2025, swooping into a new era.
