Manwolves is a 5-piece multi-instrumental band whose genre-bending sound combines elements of rock, hip hop, and jazz. Comprising of lifelong friends Jamie McNear (vocals), Eli Cohen (guitar), Henry Wolf (bass), Julian Freeman (drums), and Ari Garfin (keys), the Evanston quintet has been flourishing in the Chicago scene over the past year.
Selling out multiple Chicago venues such as Lincoln Hall, Chop Shop, & Subterranean as headliners, as well as performing alongside other major up-and-coming acts such as Ric Wilson & Omar Apollo, Manwolves have continued to cause a stir in the city.
In 2017, Manwolves reached #4 on the Viral U.S Spotify Chart. Since then, the group has amassed more than 15 million streams on Spotify with their biggest track, These Days, amassing over 3.4 million streams.
The group's latest album. Sleeping In, released July 2021, incorporates Manwolves’ incendiary live sound, whilst thematically it will tackle the often troubling and unnatural relationship so many of us have with the internet and social media.
