Between Howls are dynamic vocalist/violinist Ren Cooper Howl & guitarist/singer-songwriter Nick Muska Howl. The two perform a blend of folk, rock and blues featuring a distinctive take on the catalogs of artists past & present alongside songs they have written together.

The Howl’s met in college at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. They first crossed paths as members of various jazz ensembles, as well as at house parties where they would steal songs from each other’s playlists. After an impromptu late-night jam, they began performing publicly in the winter of 2018 as “Cooper & Muska.”

They have since performed across the US, and in 2021 relocated to Los Angeles, CA. While in California they cowrote several albums worth of material together, primarily as frontmen for the touring 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 & a short film which recently debuted at Grauman’s TCL Chinese Theatre.

After many years of being friends and bandmates, Ren & Nick were married in September of 2023. The two are currently in the initial stages of recording a forthcoming Between Howls album of all-original material.
