Born and bred in Owensboro, Kentucky, John Howard has since had the experience of living in Seoul, Korea (where he taught English) and Nashville (where he picked up a gig writing for "American Songwriter Magazine," a publication he still contributes articles to) before settling down for the moment in Los Angeles. Throughout his various adventures, he has always carried a guitar with him, and the Beatles, Roy Orbison, Elton John and lately John Mayer have followed him in the form of influences. After a few experimental demos, he's now ready to release a 5-song EP called "This Game Of Life." Veteran producer Guy Marshall ("Baywatch" credits among others) served as producer of this CD full of hooks, sweet harmonies, and good karma.
