The Big Wolf Band are one of the UK’s best blues rock outfits and continue to generate brilliant reviews and responses from audiences, promoters and music writers.
The albums and singles showcase the brilliant musicianship and song writing talents of Jonathan Earp and as a result have garnered airplay from Paul Jones on his Radio 2 show, Planet Rock, HRH radio, FM radio across Europe, Australia and the USA. A wide range of international podcast and internet radio stations have also enthusiastically embraced Big Wolf Band’s songs and are playing them regularly on their shows. The band also has an amazing presence on YouTube. Their songs have been added by enthusiastic lovers of the genre on various playlists and have been listened to millions of times. The tracks Darkest of my Days and If I Ever Loved Another Woman are two tracks which have attracted an incredible amount of excitement and attention on YouTube. This has had a positive effect on the band’s official artist channel, Big Wolf Band TV, demonstrating strong month on month growth.
The band have gathered a very strong following which has not only been generated from their recorded output but also by their dynamic and energy filled live sets. The band have toured extensively across the UK and have supported high profile artists such as Bernie Marsden of Whitesnake, Kirk Fletcher, Elles Bailey, Steve Nimmo, Pat McManus, Chantel McGregor, Erja Lyytinen, Stacey Collins and Climax Blues Band.
2022 was a tremendous year for the band.
