With over 150 combined years of gigging experience behind them, Morgen (Mo' Slim), Colin, Terry and Justin have played with many bands over the years, spanning a wide variety of music genres from Rockabilly, Rock Classic and Rock Blues. They have a history of playing together from way back in the 1990's with many influences on their music.

Previous hook-ups include Morgen and Justin in Me and The Devil as well as The Mo' Slim Stompers. Colin and Morgen in Black Cat Bone. Terry and Colin in Overdrawn, plus many more. Other bands they have been a part of include.... Transam and The Flat Caps. Their main influences today are Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, 50's Rhythm & Blues, Dr Feelgood, Nine Below Zero and ZZ Top to name but a few.

Those members of the audience who would not have considered themselves devotees of Blues Music at the start of the evening, tend to be wholly converted by the time The Mighty Howlers have completed their roaring sets!
