howdy! Bio:
Howdy! has built a hard-earned reputation as one of the hardest working and musically refined bands in the San Francisco Bay Area. Audiences seldom leave disappointed as the band blends its unique mix of bluegrass, americana, reggae, funk and psychedelic rock into a jam-oriented danceable music genre called "Outlaw Folk." Beginning with the gritty lyrical content of death, despair, tragedy, paradise lost, revolution, and celebration, Howdy! creates a tepestry of sound that culminates in transcendent peaks which build throughout each performance.
Howdy! features the powerful lead vocals, guitar and harmonica chops of Tennessee native Dave Nanstad (Three Days Ahead, Killing Floor), the show-stopping mandolin and guitar work of Sean Hancock (Second Set, Kingstreet), and the driving upright bass rhythms of Aspen Stevenson (5 Tons of Rhythm, Speakeasy Jug Band). As Howdy! fans will tell you, these musicians, along with the often unexpected guest artist or two, bring a remarkable flair, chemistry and intensity to the stage.
Driving their beat-up pickup trucks at breakneck speed onstage, Howdy! is excited to be rocking the house at a venue near you. |
