It’s time to get to know Howl Owl Howl, the supergroup featuring a Rock Hall<\/a> bassist, a Rock Hall-nominated drummer and the singer of 1995’s biggest selling album. The group is ramping up to a late fall tour in support of new music including their first single that’s arriving on Halloween.<\/p>\n The members of Howl Owl Howl have quite the resume and a wealth of success throughout the ’90s.<\/p>\n The band’s frontman is Hootie & the Blowfish<\/a> vocalist Darius Rucker<\/a>, who is best known for their massively successful debut album, Cracked Rear View<\/em>, which sold over 7 million albums in 1995 and has gone on to achieve double diamond status with over 22 million albums sold in the U.S.<\/p>\n Rucker has spent time off and on with Hootie and the Blowfish in recent years, while also establishing himself as a solo artist in the country world.<\/p>\n The group also features bassist and co-vocalist Mike Mills<\/a> of R.E.M.<\/a> fame. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group<\/a> got their start in the ’80s, but became massively successful in the ’90s with their Out of Time<\/em>, Automatic for the People<\/em> and Monster<\/em> albums among others.<\/p>\n Completing the trio is drummer Steve Gorman who found most of his success as a member of The Black Crowes<\/a>. The band enjoyed breakout success in 1990 with their Shake Your Money Maker<\/em> album. The group remained a prominent band through the decade with The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, Amorica, Three Snakes and a Charm<\/em> and By Your Side<\/em> albums and were a 2025 nominated act for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n In their bio, the group’s music is described<\/a> as “Infusing roots rock with an open-minded alternative flair.”<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels great to be singing with a rock band again. It\u2019s like buddies getting together, but also getting to play with your idols,\u201d Rucker shared of the new group. \u201cThe stuff we\u2019re writing is so different than anything I\u2019ve tried to do before.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou never can explain band chemistry,\u201d Mills added. \u201cWe all like each other. And we all admire each other musically. All those things come together and if it weren\u2019t fun, we wouldn\u2019t be doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Who Was the First Ever Supergroup?<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The group is set to drop their first new song, “My Cologne,” on Halloween. That will soon be followed by their first extended touring starring on Nov. 3 in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re finally going to get to plug in and let it rip a little bit,\u201d Gorman says. The band is reportedly planning to play a set featuring original material plus two songs apiece from their respective pre-existing bands.<\/p>\n The band’s formation dates back to 2019 when Gorman pulled the trio together for a Nashville benefit performance. By 2021, the three musicians decided to try out working together musically.<\/p>\n \u201cThe concept from day one was, \u2018Let\u2019s just write a bunch of songs together and see what we think, see if there\u2019s anything cool that comes from it\u2019 \u2013 there was no grand design beyond that,\u201d Gorman says. \u201cAnd then we all hit this realization of, \u2018This is actually really good! I think we\u2019ve caught something.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI hope people listen to this and realize it\u2019s just three old rock & roll friends that started hanging out,\u201d Rucker adds.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all truly dig the record. We knew it would be fun and we knew it would be cool and all those things, but this is beyond that,\u201d Gorman concludes. \u201cThis is a record we would feel when we were much younger. This is a record we\u2019d be proud of in any of our other bands.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The group has announced their first leg of tour dates. As previously stated, they’ll kick things off Nov. 3 in Indianapolis at The Vogue. Additional dates are booked through Nov. 15 at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse.
