Big Wolf Band return to The Tropic by popular demand and after their very successful gig at The Tropic in 2024.
Formed in Birmingham in 2014 by acclaimed guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Jonathan Earp, Big Wolf Band have become one of the UK’s most respected and dynamic blues rock acts. Joined by Mick Jeynes (bass), Tim Jones (drums), Justin Johnson (guitar), and Arran Shangavi (keys), the band deliver explosive live performances full of raw emotion, musical precision, and powerful storytelling. With multiple UK Blues Award nominations, including Top 5 Best Blues Band in both 2023 and 2024, and a Top 5 Album nod for their latest release Rebel’s Journey in 2025, Big Wolf Band continue to rise as a major force in the genre. Their live shows are known for their dynamic range—from hard-edged blues rock anthems to soulful ballads and groove-driven instrumentals—earning them a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands on the circuit.
Big Wolf Band have received national and international airplay, including BBC Radio 2, Planet Rock, HRH Radio, and FM stations across Europe, Australia, and the USA. Their albums have topped charts, including three #1 Amazon Blues Albums, and tracks from Rebel’s Journey were added to Joe Bonamassa’s Spotify playlists 'Cutting Edge Blues' and 'Ultimate Blues Rock.'.
“Big Wolf Band stand as trailblazers in the evolving landscape of blues and rock.” — Colin Campbell, Blues Matters Magazine.
