About

Ghost Hounds are a soulful, swaggering country rock band, who in early 2025 released Almost Home, their fifth studio album. The album blends country, roots, classic rock and blues and features all-star guests from Lainey Wilson to Patty Griffin and is replete with fervent vocals, blistering bluesy guitar riffs, greasy slide guitars and stomping beats.

This prolific band has quickly made a name for themselves by opening for some of the biggest names in music including: The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Garth Brooks, Guns N’ Roses, and Bob Seger.

Fronted by SAVNT and backed by guitarists Tyler Chiarelli and Thomas Tull, pianist/keys Joe Munroe, violinist/fiddler Kristin Weber, bassist Bennett Miller, and drummer Sydney Driver, Ghost hounds are a band blazing a country rock trail of their own making.

Ghost Hounds' debut, Roses Are Black (2019), earned widespread acclaim from Billboard, American Songwriter, and more as well as millions of streams on streaming platforms. Their follow-up, A Little Calamity (2021), impressed with its classic rock sensibilities and the hit single "Good Old Days." You Broke Me (2022) continued their tradition of blending classic blues rock with a modern flair. Their latest album, First Last Time (2023) via Gibson Records, features hit single "Last Train To Nowhere," which racked up millions of hits via TikTok and Instagram, and was featured in Taylor Sheridan's new TV show Special Ops: Lioness.
