The Growling Old Men don't consider themselves old, nor do they growl very
much.  What they do is play acoustic music on mandolin, guitar, octave mandolin and vocals.  Playing an eclectic mix of music including bluegrass, americana, folk, swing, and original songs, these guys have made fans of their music everywhere they go.

In November of 2008, Montana PBS television aired an episode of a program called "11th & Grant", featuring The Growlers with Dave Thompson as a special guest.  Click the photo to go to the KUSM site.
