Howard Livingston

Although Livingston lives in the tropics, he was raised in the heartland. Born in the coal mining region of Kentucky and raised in Marion, IN, he first took up guitar at age six. He spent his teenage years playing in a band called The Juveniles absorbing a variety of influences, from the Beatles and the Stones to Elvis, Hank Williams, Bob Marley and Muddy Waters. Once he reached the age of 18 he put music on the back burner and turned his attention to earning a more reliable living.

In the early '90's, Livingston began making regular sojourns to the Florida Keys, becoming so enamored with the area that he found himself gravitating there at every opportunity. Eventually he gave in to his wanderlust and decided to permanently relocate to tiny Summerland Key (Mile Marker 24 - thus the band name). The change in lifestyle prompted him to revisit his love of music, and after assembling Mile Marker 24, Livingston and company have become known as a Portable Party Machine supporting corporate events and weddings and their busy schedule in the tiki bars, hotspots and hang-outs that litter the Florida Keys. The band tours the US in the summers - plays in the warmer climes in the winters.
