HOWARD LOUIS PERFORMS TOM WAITS + BOMBADIL W/ Ready Aim Flowers.
Howard Louis comes armed with powerful vocals and, for his solo music,
a piano. He fuses sounds of rock, alternative, pop, and even flavors
of show tunes in his catalog of songs. His honest lyrics are
perceptive, biting, self-deprecating, and naked. All of these
qualities are crafted over melodic soundscapes that are sometimes
dark, sometimes quirky, and sometimes raw and beautiful. For his
latest "Waits." EP, he honors the music of Tom Waits. Howard has been
intrigued, excited and buoyed by Tom's music for the last several
years and felt that this was what he was meant to do for his next
project. The songs on the EP give a clear nod to Tom without
reimagining or recreating anything too heavily. From the buzzing,
driving and brutal "Goin' Out West" to the early, classical ballad
"Shiver Me Timbers", Howard and his band covers the map with music
from one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Bombadil is a trio of North Carolina and France-based vocalists,
songwriters, and visual artists. The band specializes in technicolor
Americana pop, with knitted three-part vocal harmony. They use
traditional instruments (acoustic guitar, bass and drums), and combine
them with lush piano and keyboard sounds to create a singular sonic
landscape.
Bombadil's sound is a wonderful collection of colorful folk,
good-hearted lyrics, and thoughtful melodies. Their superb live show
always has a full schedule of performances throughout North America
and Europe. The band has received press coverage in The New York
Times, Rolling Stone, and Paste, and their songs have been featured in
the movie Trainwreck and the Hulu original series Runaways.
