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. Read more about it in this Examiner.com article: http://exm.nr/1nLgftH.
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.
