Guitarist/vocalist Carley WOLF was raised with a pack of wolf-dog hybrids on her family's Texas hill country ranch. When she met drummer Jonny WOLF and they started making music together, they named their band The Ghost Wolves as a way of memorializing their beloved companions who had died.
Their sound exists in the cracks between blues, rock n' roll, noise, punk and early American music. In their personal record collection at home, one might find albums by a diverse range of artists including R.L. Burnside, Hasil Adkins, Joan Jett, The Ramones and Tom Waits.
Carley plays a multitude of instruments including a one string guitar, a cigar box guitar, and a six string Silvertone reissue guitar. Jonny's vintage drum kit includes found percussion like a watering can, a crystal punch bowl, analog synthesizers and effects. Over the last 7 years they have performed nearly 1000 shows in 23 countries including most of western Europe, the USA, Scandinavia, the U.K., and Japan. Their explosive performances have earned them an international reputation as a must-see live act.
The duo have returned to Europe and the U.K. for a month long tour in February & March 2018 including shows in London (at the World famous Dirty Water Club), Paris, Berlin and Madrid. After this trip they will perform at SXSW in Austin, then depart on a full spring time tour of the entire USA opening for goth-punk-blues one man band Lincoln Durham. Later in the summer they are slated to play various festivals including Fusion Festival in Germany, Moonrunners Festival in Chicago and Muddy Roots Festival in Tennessee. They are currently recording a third LP with producer and engineer Rob Fraboni (The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Last Waltz).
