The Desert Howlers

"These Howlers from the high desert fuse classic Chicago and Texas blues with a raw swagger!"

Blues Time!

The Desert Howlers are fast establishing themselves as Central Oregon’s premier RoadHouse Blues outfit. Formed by veteran bassist and vocalist Howard Dyer (host of Shake and Bake on KFSL), they’re driven by the dynamic dance grooves of drummer Mitch Peay and the fiery guitar and harmonica of British born Blues Man Steve Counsel whose critically acclaimed album, "Out Of The Shadows," was produced by the legendary British Blues guitarist Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown.

“Steve Counsel is a gritty engaging singer and a roaring harmonica powerhouse,” Ira Robbins, New York Newsday

"Counsel ,,, sounds like a young Van Morrison spitting out the words here with a raspy soulful passion" Mike Rimmer, Cross Rhythms
