"A STAR HAS BURNT MY EYE" January 22, 2013 in NYC
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.

NAKED SOUL at The Rubin Museum of Art
On Friday, March 23rd, Howard will perform at The Rubin Museum of Art in NYC, as part of their NAKED SOUL concert series.
The show will be completely unamplified (hence the name), and will feature Howard's quartet in an intimate, pristine setting -- the ideal context for the performance of acoustic music.
Joining Howard will be Skye Steele, Andrae Murchison on trombone and Greg Cohen on upright bass.
And as a special bonus, the ticket price to the concert includes admission to the museum and a free, post-concert guided tour of the museum's collection. After the show, there will also be a cash bar and a live DJ. Come and make an evening of it! Tickets here!
