ABOUT
Between Howls are violinist Ren Howl & guitarist Nick Howl. The Duluth Minnesota-based husband/wife duo perform a dynamic blend of folk, rock & soul inspired by artists past and present. They recently released their first full-length LP, Cabin Fever, and are performing cross-country throughout 2025 to support.
The Howl’s met in college at the University of Wisconsin-Superior & first crossed paths as members of the campus jazz ensemble. After what turned out to be a fateful late night jam, the two began performing publicly in the winter of 2018 as Cooper & Muska. Between 2018 and March of 2020 they performed over 200 shows together in the Duluth/Superior area.
In June of 2021 the Howl’s relocated to Southern California and spent three years based out west. While in Orange County/LA they recorded two albums with the rock group One Less Guest; and collaborated, performed and recorded with numerous artists both in music and film.
In July 2024 Nick & Ren moved back to the upper midwest and made the jump to doing music full-time. They often credit the experiences and friends they made in California with helping inspire them to make this transition.
Outside of the duo, Ren has worked as the violinist/backing vocalist for Nashville artist Kashus Culpepper. In spring of 2025 Ren joined Kashus on a tour opening for Leon Bridges- the tour also included a set at the Stagecoach Music Festival in California and a stop in New York City to record for the nationally broadcast “CBS This Morning” segment, Saturday Sessions.
The Howl’s currently live in Northern Wisconsin and enjoy the great outdoors when they aren’t on the road touring out of their 1999 big blue Chevy Express.
