On January 22, 2013, Howard and friends will present a work in progress tribute to the relatively unknown American songsmith Connie Converse. "A Star Has Burnt My Eye" traces the unusual life and compelling music of this singular artist who self-recorded a remarkable body of work while living on her own in 1950s New York City.

Featuring special guests Susan Oetgen, Charlotte Mundy, Jean Rohe, Anastasia Barzee, Nathan Peck, and Russell Farhang.

"A Star Has Burnt My Eye" had its workshop premiere at Joe's Pub

and was subsequently performed at Abrons Arts Center.
