Carl Howard is a writer, performer and producer of all original pop / blues material. Although a player of a variety of instruments, including bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin and percussion, lead guitar has been Carl’s main instrument of over 30 years. His inspirations in music come from his devotion to God, and in serving Him. Carl has over ten years of experience as a praise minister, but his creative style in his personal writing and performing is more of a blues / pop influence, reflecting on his musical influences of Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Carlos Santana and Neal Schon. His music will satisfy those who love the combination of layers of guitars, along with passionate bluesy vocals, for the hungry in soul and spirit.
