Badwolf started in the far off land of New Zealand when guitarist Jon Balanoff and drummer Josh Cain played a one night show in the small town of Kaiaua. Upon their return to the US they linked up with guitarist/bassist Jeff Cannon who had recently returned from New Zealand as well and the initial band was formed. After months of committed jamming and living solely off of raw lamb shanks and budweiser, they decided it was time take things to the next level and horn players Drew Balanoff and Jack Paone were added to the band. Shortly after the horns were added, local hero and avid fisherman Aaron Arsenault joined the band on Keyboard. After Drew left the band to become a hobo in colorado, Jack was heartbroken but not defeated. Jack committed himself to assembling a horn trio the likes of which this world had never seen, and with much effort found sax player Matt Coyle, and trombonist Samantha Sinclair. And this is the band that you hear today. Keep an ear out for the howling horns as this band continues to progress and impress!
