The longtime blues/rock ensemble recently recorded their
long-awaited new album (and follow-up to the critically-acclaimed "Made In
Chicago") at Rosas' Lounge in Chicago, scheduled for a Summer 2014 release.

Howard and the
White Boys continue to perform through out the U.S., bringing audiences to their
feet and out onto the dance floor - much as they have done for over twenty
years. Longtime band member Rocco Calipari has also branched out with his
successful side project Head Honchos' who have released a well-received debut CD
and play regularly throughout the Midwest as well as the rest of the U.S. and
Canada. The
members of Howard And the White Boys first met at Northern Illinois University
in Dekalb in 1988 and began jamming together just for fun, but their
fast-growing popularity soon convinced them they could make a career of it.
After only a few months, they got their first big break by opening for Blues
legend, B.B. King. The band soon made the move to Chicago and began performing
with the biggest names in Blues: Koko Taylor, Albert King, Junior Wells, Lonnie
Brooks, Luther Allison, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry (the latter whom they were
the backing band for in a headlining capacity at the 2002 Long Beach Blues
Festival in Long Beach, Calif.).
Here's Howard
and the White Boys killing it live on their song "Black Cat Bone," recorded at
Rosa's Lounge in Chicago.
