Howard Gladstone
Howard Gladstone’s deceptively simple
songs of social & personal observation & reflection offer vivid locales and interesting characters and their stories.
With a craftsman approach to lyric writing,
and an engaging laid -back vocal delivery,
this is folk roots country - influenced music,
performed by Howard Gladstone with a stellar band.
Enjoy it live, or on two independently released studio recordings.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Toronto and southern Ontario area. It's a singer/songwriter thing usually. Often play solo, or duet usually with Tony Quarrington, great guitar player. Occassionally get the whole band together -- would like more of those nights!
