A powerful band, fronted by award-winning former Rockin' Armadillos frontman, writer and broadcaster TIM AVES, with erstwhile Armadillos bandmates,ROB BARRY (bass) and PAUL LESTER (drums) and the hottest young guitar talent on the British blues scene today, JOEL FISK, whose main gig is with Cool Buzz Records artistes HOKIE JOINT.
As the name suggests, the tough, scary blues of Howlin' Wolf (Tim's all-time favourite bluesman and number one inspiration) is central to the band's repertoire, though it touches all points in between Wolf and a range or artistes including Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, The Red Devils, ZZ Top and the ARC Angels...
The lineup made its live debut in opening for UK blues guitar genius Matt Schofield (who invited Tim to blow harp on stage with his band that night) and first appeared under the name, WOLFPACK, in January 2010.
Since then, WOLFPACK has gigged steadily, playing top venues, clubs and festivals, including a tour-de-force performance before a huge crowd at London's biggest annual blues event, the 2010 Ealing Summer Blues Festival.
Club and festival bookings for 2011 including the Bottleneck Blues Club in Rochester, Farnham Maltings, in Surrey, the main stage at the Ealing Summer Blues Festival and Newark Blues Festival in Newark, Notts.
The band was featured in a front cover/three page spread in the Octobver 2010 edition of Blues in Britain magazine and is now working on an album which will be a mixture of material recorded live in the studio and live gig recordings that capture the raw, exciting essence of WOLFPACK's live performances.
