About / Biography

Hi there! I'm a solo singing guitarist originally from the North-West of England but now based in London. My repertoire includes everything from intimate ceremony moments to upbeat party pleasers, with an optional stomp box feature to add to which ever atmosphere you desire.

Since 2019 I have been performing at multiple events all over the UK such as weddings, private functions, pubs and bars.

I'm happy to learn any specific song in advance to make the day more personal to you!

MORE ABOUT ME:

Dousing contemporary folk with pained Americana & country influences, singer-songwriter Simon Howard’s delicate storytelling shines amid his effortlessly heart-wrenching vocal. After a secluded Texan summer spent writing in Austin, Howard returned home to record his debut EP ‘Youth’s Ground’.


In May 2022, Howard released his single ‘Not Like Superman’ a song in which he talks about the struggles of always trying to please others but never being good enough. With body hitting drums and a powerful 8-piece string section, the song carries you through what feels like a Western showdown, staring straight into the eyes of anyone who has ever wronged you. Howards latest single 'Trojan Horse' is a joyful gallop reminiscing of his own personal attacks when feeling at his most vulnerable. Both singles led to airtime on BBC introducing.
