Contemporary Country Folk artist Simon Howard tells delicate stories through his effortlessly heart-wrenching vocals.. After spending a secluded summer writing in Austin, Texas, Howard returned home to begin performing regularly until releasing his debut EP 'Youth's Ground' in 2021.
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.
Simon’s latest single 'Trojan Horse' is a fast gallop where he reminisces of his own emotional journey when feeling at his most vulnerable. Both singles led to airtime on BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio and Express FM.
Recent performances include The British Country Music Festival, Wychwood Festival, Celtic Connections and the BBC Introducing showcase at The Cavern.
Simon is currently working on new material to be released in 2024.
