Howie Day

Howie Day emerged from the country quietude of Bangor, ME, into Boston’s coffeehouse scene and the world of folk music, proving his talent on his first release, Australia. Singer/songwriters come a dime a dozen, but the truly eloquent ones are priceless, Day found a place in that lineage.
Day stretched the boundaries of acoustic music from the very start, often using loop pedals in concert to create lush, layered sounds with a single guitar. He later expanded that sound to include electric instruments, strings, and a full backing band, a move that resulted in such pop/rock hits as “Collide” and “She Says.”

Citing the likes of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and Dave Matthews among his influences, Day incorporated these artists’ defining characteristics into his style while still striking out an original sound.
