Eschewing theatrics for real musicianship, Danny Vash & Nite Wolf have carved out a reputation for hard-hitting, steel-bending rock, paving the way for their first major radio hit.

Nite Wolf is a three-piece, hard rock power trio from the Albuquerque, New Mexico area featuring Danny Vash singer/songwriter/guitarist, Mike Alberts on bass guitar and Bill Weber on drums. Their sound and style influences ranges from Ozzy, Priest, and Rush to UFO, Mountain, and Hendrix. All self-taught musicians, Nite Wolf delivers a riveting, hard rock sound that combines influences from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, to present day. When you hear Bill Weber's hard-hitting beat, Mike Albert's thumping bass lines and Danny Vash’s wailing lead guitar sound that screams like bending steel, you're in the presence of Nite Wolf. In addition to headlining many of their own shows in the Albuquerque area, Nite Wolf has shared the stage with industry moguls such as Robin Trower, Pat Traverse, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Marino & Mahogony Rush and Savoy Brown. Perhaps it's the fact that they write, record and produce all their own music- qualities noticeably absent in today's pop music culture- that has fans all over the world vibing to their debut radio hit 'Passion Dreamer'. Reporter Lauren Thompson caught up with Danny Vash recently to learn more about this intriguing band and their plans for the future.
