Darius Rucker, Mike Mills, and Steve Gorman have formed a new rock supergroup called Howl Owl Howl, aiming to deliver an authentic and energetic musical experience.

The band emphasizes their mutual admiration and organic chemistry, with a focus on fun and spontaneous performances that highlight their diverse musical backgrounds.

Their upcoming 9-date tour, which includes stops in major cities like Chicago, Washington DC, Boston, New York, and Atlanta, will feature a mix of original songs and classics from their previous bands.

While there is no announced release date for a full album, new material will be performed during the tour, signaling an active debut for the band.

The project has been described as a 'leap of faith,' capturing youthful energy and swagger with a mature edge, and the band members see it as a spontaneous and authentic creative process.

Gorman highlighted the band's energetic live performances, emphasizing improvisation and unpredictability, with no guarantees on how each show will unfold.

Despite the tour, there is no plan for long-term touring, with Gorman suggesting it might be years before they hit the road again.

Their upcoming album, inspired by their wide-ranging sonic tastes, will include self-penned songs that explore personal, quirky, and rebellious themes, embodying the rebellious spirit of rock.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the tour and new single, which promises a blend of fresh material and beloved classics, appealing to both longtime fans and new listeners.

Tickets for the tour are selling quickly, reflecting strong fan interest and buzz within the rock and alternative scenes.

The band was initially formed in 2019 during a Nashville benefit concert, with serious work beginning in 2021, and the members have known each other since then, fostering longstanding friendships.

Music writer Malcolm Abram notes that despite potential criticism of the band’s name, the members' proven success and hit-making ability make their project compelling.

The band’s setlist will include original songs and covers from R.E.M., Hootie and the Blowfish, and the Black Crowes, showcasing a diverse and seasoned repertoire.
