Sexy shack-shackin’ music - that's Howell Devine, the massively talented NorCal trio (& 2013 IBC finalists) who became the first blues band Arhoolie Records (Fred McDowell, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Mama Thornton) signed in 27 years! Triple threat talent Joshua Howell (slide guitars, harmonica, voice) and percussion savant Pete Devine (drums, washboard, temple block) plus snappy doghouse bassist Joe Kyle Jr. deftly mix sinuous Delta/country blues with wildly syncopated ragtime to create a rollickin' present day sound from the past. HowellDevine breaks from the norm, providing rich and complex textures integral to the music rather than simple backing for a soloist. Ready to walk into a juke joint in the canebreaks on a Wednesday night??
