Chuck Shute Podcast Nick Reese (Joyous Wolf singer)
Episode 74- Nick Reese from Joyous Wolf! Joyous Wolf is a newer rock band and while they may have some older influences, do not call them a throwback! They are a modern rock band with a very complex sound that is still evolving as the band continues to grow. The band has toured with Deep Purple, Slash and Fozzy and also done many large festivals. While their cover of Mississippi Queen has over 2 million listens on Spotify, the original music they’re putting out is brilliant and quickly gaining ground as is the band as a whole. I’m so thankful to Nick for doing this interview now because in a few years this band will be huge and he likely will be too busy!
