Lane Howard’s Crime of Passion, an acoustic roux of Americana, roots-rock, folk, blues, tongue-in-cheek-adventures, lies and sarcastic political expectations.
Hailing from Texas, Lane Howard is a singer/songwriter who blends flattop picking and old world harmonies to create a signature acoustic sound reflective of traditional musical styles. Lane Howard is a self-taught musician whose skill and talents playing the guitar, dobro, mandolin, ukulele and piano frame the innovation behind his singular music.
Growing up in a household where his mother sang opera and his father saturated the air with big band, swing and jazz music, Lane embarked upon his artistic passions during his most poignant childhood years.
Early in life he garnered the notion that as human beings we all have shared experiences and he writes about these experiences as they frame our everyday life. Lane began performing live at various coffee house and music festivals while living in LA where he also wrote television theme songs for PBS’s TV-Antiques Country and background music for NBC Television’s Access Hollywood. Later he was offered a record deal at SXSW in Austin which lead to the production of his debut CD, Crime of Passion.
Writing all his own songs the album has been widely received by college, AAA, Americana and NPR radio stations, spawning four charted AMA singles, Mama Said, Old Cyrus Brown, I Will Survive and the album’s title track. Lane Howard’s Crime of Passion is probably the best American CD you’ve never heard.
A finger picked acoustic roux of Americana, roots-rock, folk, blues, tongue-in-cheek-true-life-adventures, outright lies and sarcastic political expectations sung in a finely simmered baritone stew that leaves you hungry for more.
