The Howling Brothers sting-band has spent years refining their love for blues, country blues, and sting-band music. They spent the last couple years tirelessly catching songs and refining the sound that has become like none other. It's a little bluegrassy, a bit of ole time, lots of country blues and a slap bass sound that rattles the rafters night in and night out.

When the Howling Brothers perform, an energy is ignited that is impossible to put out. Fans of all ages and creeds find the group "simply outstanding"—the words of a fan out of Eagle Lake Mississippi—bringing traditional music lovers back again and again. Long Hard Year is the Brothers' newest album to date, just released with plenty of heart and soul mixed in. It will be a record to remember from this talented group of brothers. Raised in the backwoods of America brought up in the alleyways of country and blues, a living gumbo of American roots music!!
