Band Details

From the Promoter

The Howl at The Night Tour mirrors the concept behind the Once Upon a Hell of a Time… (2017) and Twice Upon a Hell of a Time… (2018) albums, where Mays released both electric and acoustic versions, exploring the same tunes but with “different styles, tempos, time signatures, and colours”. The fall tour expands on this, extending it to Mays’ full catalogue of music and building momentum as different players join the fray.

After departing seminal alt-country collective The Guthries back in 2002, Mays bounced back-and-forth between solo projects (his self-titled debut, the unfinished film soundtrack …When the Angels Make Contact) and band projects (the eponymous Matt Mays & El Torpedo record and 2008’s epic Terminal Romance). Following the dissolution of Matt Mays & El Torpedo in 2009, he released Coyote (2012) to much acclaim, including a JUNO Award win for Rock Album of the Year. October 2017 saw the release of Once Upon a Hell of a Time… with the companion album Twice Upon a Hell of a Time… coming exactly a year later.
