The Nite Howlers. French group created in 2017 and composed of experienced musicians from the rock’n’roll and rockabilly scene, and inspired by the electric rockabilly of the end of the 50s and the wild rock’n’roll of the beginning of the 60s.

This group is the reunion of musician friends who wanted to recreate an atmosphere faithful to the rock’n’roll combos of the 50s/60s, with multiple sources and references from artists such as Benny Joy, Carl Perkins, Ronnie Dawson, Charlie Feathers …
