With R.E.M., Hootie, Black Crowes cofounders, Howl Owl Howl finding its crowd


Things to do

The new band of old friends plays sold out shows in Athens on Friday and on Saturday in Atlanta. Just don’t call it a ‘supergroup.’

Best known for his role as cofounder of the Athens-bred band R.E.M., Mike Mills, was en route from Chicago to Washington, D.C., feeling positive about the debut tour of his latest project, Howl Owl Howl.

“The tour is going really well,” the multi-instrumentalist said, via a crackling cellphone connection. “The audiences have been fantastic. They’re so responsive to everything we’re doing.”
