Omar's band at that time was John Inmon (guitar), Bruce Jones (bass), and Gene Brandon (drums).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in McComb, Mississippi, USA, he began making music at the age of 12, still under his real name of Kent Dykes. The original Howlers were formed in 1973 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA. In 1976, they decided to move to Austin, Texas, USA, where clubs such as the 'Soap Creek Saloon,' the 'Broken Spoke,' the 'Armadillo World Headquarters' and 'Antone's' had created a haven for 'renegade' music. With a new lineup, Dykes created a band capable of the kind of rough, rowdy blues that made Howlin' Wolf and Hound Dog Taylor legends. Omar's first release was 'Big Leg Beat' in 1980, which would be followed by over 20 more. During countless tours through the USA and Europe, he created a loyal fan base, especially in Germany and Scandinavia, which always ensured sold-out concerts. His last performance was in 2017, and since then he has devoted himself to writing and has already released two works in which he reflects on his life and work as a 'bluesman'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWall of Pride\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen River\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't Lead Me On\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunky Time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoud Mouth Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe Gotta Get Out of This Place\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDown in Mississippi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBad Seed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorder Girl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRattlesnake Shake\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDancing in the Canebrake\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHard Times in the Land of Plenty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagic Man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOmar's Shuffle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRock 'n' Roll Ball\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEast Side Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoy!
