Howdies All Around

The story of Howdies All Around is the story of a group of friends getting together to share songs around a campfire - At it's heart is a love for the hardscrabble heroes of Country Music's early days and the freewheeling feeling of the Outlaw era - Howdies All Around bares bones that are the musical styles of Appalachia and the old Blues that came together to create a distinctly American art form.

The six members of The Howdies each bring a unique musical background that combines to create a singular sound. Their Athens, Ga home has long been an artistic haven for all genres of music and an open forum for shared expression. The result is a place where outsiders fourish and the rules of musical tradition are often bent or even broken with a wink and a smile. Produced by David Barbe and T. Hardy Morris and recorded at Chase Park Transduction, only Athens could create a group like The Howdies and a record like Howdies All Around. A little bit loose, a little bit home made but over fowing with the love of friendship and the sheer joy of creating something new.
