Live from Studio A: Between Howls

Ren and Nick Howl have packed a lot into their eight years performing together. The Duluth-Superior area natives moved to California with their band One Less Guest, spending three years building a following there before the duo decided it was time to return home. Since coming back, they've performed as Between Howls, releasing a debut album in early 2025. The duo joined us in the studio on March 2, 2026 to talk about that album, which they recorded themselves in their cabin, inspiring the title, Cabin Fever. They also shared new songs from a second and third album that are already in the works, with Ren doing more songwriting than previously.

Two people stand in front of a grey wall that says The North in blue lettering. The person on the left is holding a violin, the person on the right is holding a guitar and wearing a hat.
