Brad Howard

The event planner that books me for a gig can expect a professional, honest person to work with. I am a straight shooter and don't want to ever cheat anyone. With that being said, I do country music and it's mostly from the 80's and 90's. If your audience is into more of a variety of different genres and newer country; I'm probably not the guy you want to book. I do music by George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, and others of that style. I also add in some of my originals as well. If you want to hear old country music done the right way and with heart, I believe you will be happy with my services.

The Blue Ridge mountains echo through Brad Howard's voice, and you can feel his soul with every note. Brad is from the small town of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina and he knew from a very young age that he wanted to play and sing country music. He would listen to the country greats like Hank Williams and Willie Nelson and they became two of his biggest influences.

At the age of 18, his pursuit of music was put on hold after he enlisted into the United States Air Force. After spending some time in active duty he transferred into the National Guard. Brad's patriotism and respect for the military extends to his songwriting. He has received much praise for his song, "He's not a Fallen Soldier," which resonates with many who have lost a friend or loved one in the line of duty.

Brad has recorded three full length albums and an EP album. Two of his recorded songs have been nominated for Song of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists.

I do not have any particular requirements for lighting, staging, and sound. I play acoustic and don't need all the bells and whistles. I can supply my own PA if need be. If you supply the PA, I ask that you set it up for me to use. Not all PA's are the same, and I don't like to set-up a PA I'm not familiar with.
