Heidi Howe

Since releasing her critically acclaimed debut album Nature of My Wrongs in 1999, the diminutive yet powerful singer and songwriter has refused to be pigeon-holed, insisting on defining success according to her own values. After releasing her sophomore album A Real Piece of Work in 2001 (on the Ear X-tacy label), Howe was quoted in Business First as saying, “I would rather play to 10 people who will listen than to 200 people who consider me a jukebox.” Since that quote, Howe has toured nationally, placed first in the WAMZ battle of the bands, played huge concert halls and pitched songs in Nashville. She’s released five albums, played radio shows, television shows, and has had her music featured in film. The list of people Howe has opened for reads like a who’s who of alt-country music: Todd Snider, Jason Ringenberg, Paul Thorn, Stacey Earle, The Be Good Tanyas, Jerry Douglas, Billy Joe Shaver, Kim Richey, The Wood Brothers, Tim Krekel, Rosie Flores and Tommy Womack, to name a few. She has garnered accolades from the usual Americana music supporters like No Depression Magazine and WXPN in Philadelphia while at the same time receiving kudos from Al Gore and winning an E-chievement award from the E-town Radio Show. Be Good is Howe’s first album since 2007’s I Love Britney Spears. She is excited about taking her music on the road again for her Be Good tour. Rock World Magazine says, "Talent, charm, edge, humor and a unique voice in a sea of artists who are just trying too hard. Howe is the real deal."
