Willie & the Wolves was formed 1992 in Jyväskylä, Finland.
Band's music is a well cooked mixture of rhythm & blues, rock & roll, jump blues, swing and New Orleans rhythms. The sound is exciting combination of Maku's soulful vocals, Mika's wild guitar attacks and rhythm section's swinging groove. During the years, the band has gathered a reputation as one of the wildest and most entertaining live line ups in the North.

The musical influence list is endless (as usual...), but the names like Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Pee Wee Crayton, T-Bone Walker, Guitar Slim, Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Little Richard are usually the first ones to be mentioned.

The past years’ festival appearances include amongst others : Lakeside Blues Festival, Järvenpää; Blues Live! Festival, Jyväskylä; Mönsterås Blues Festival (Scandinavian Blues Contest), Sweden; Grand Blues Festival, Lahti; Aulanko Blues, Hämeenlinna; Scandinavian Blues Party, Kokkola; Tunturiblues, Saariselkä; Ruska Blues, Koli; Jämsession, Jämsä; Keitele Jazz Festival; Pakkasukko Blues & Jazz, Kemi; Rhythm & Blues Picnic, Salo; Viapori Winter Blues, Helsinki; Island Blues, Tampere; Savonsolmu Blues Party, Pieksämäki; Kukonhiekka Blues, Saarijärvi; Kaavi Blues; Puimuriblues, Laukaa; Putkilahti Jazz & Blues Festival; Luusniemi Blues etc. etc, and also numerous jazz and blues clubs, restaurants, pubs and happenings all over Finland.
