Between Howls (Duluth, Minnesota) are violinist Ren Cooper Howl & guitarist Nick Muska Howl.
The Howl’s met in college "across the bridge" at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. They first crossed paths as members of various campus ensembles. After a fateful late night jam, the two began performing publicly in the winter of 2018 as Cooper & Muska.
They have since performed across the US, and in 2021 relocated to Southern California. During their three years based out west, they wrote & recorded several albums worth of material together, primarily as co-frontmen for the rock group One Less Guest.
The Howl’s have also contributed to numerous records for other artists, and have helped score two films- a documentary about Minnesota Radio DJ Rainbow Trout ("Who Is Rainbow Trout?") & a short film "The Pool Boy" which debuted at Grauman’s TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles as part of the 2023 Silicon Beach Film Festival.
After five years as friends and bandmates, Ren & Nick were married in September of 2023. The two released their debut album "Cabin Fever" on March 20th, 2025 and are in the midst of a cross country tour to support.
