Howlin' Maggie was an alternative rock quartet formed in Columbus, Ohio, in 1994, with Harold "Happy" Chichester as the founder and lead member. Prior to this, Chichester played bass for Royal Crescent Mob and co-founded The Twilight Singers alongside Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs. He was the driving force behind the band's major releases.
Their first album, Honeysuckle Strange, came out in 1996 under Columbia Records and was met with favorable reviews. Chichester contributed vocals, keyboards, guitar work, and production duties. The eleven-song collection explores topics such as drug addiction and difficulties faced within the music business. It included two modestly successful singles, "Alcohol" and "I'm a Slut," which received rotation on alternative rock radio stations throughout the mid-1990s.
In 2001, Chichester reassembled the group with a new lineup to produce Hyde, but Howlin' Maggie dissolved soon after that release.
The band reunited briefly for a charity concert held in Columbus on November 24, 2010. This event supported CD101 for the Kids foundations and paid tribute to DJ Andy "Andyman" Davis.
Additionally, Howlin' Maggie's song "Easy to Be Stupid" appeared on the soundtrack of the 1996 movie Beautiful Girls.
