About Me


Girl Howdy roars into town on a mission to keep the honky-tonk torch burning bright! This 5-piece combo features an all-gal frontline tearing it up on steel guitar, piano, flat top guitar and soaring vocal harmonies, backed by a top-notch rhythm section of upright bass and drums.Playing music from the classic honky-tonk era spanning the late 1940's to the early 1960's, Girl Howdy plays songs from such legends as Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, Buck Owens, Loretta Lynn, Ray Price, the Davis Sisters, Webb Pierce, as well as honky-tonk-inspired originals. Hogwild for raw twang, this band plows through their retro-based repertoire with energy, enthusiasm and utter devotion."Girl Howdy packs some serious gurl-harmony with classic honky-tonkin’ grooves." - Providence Journal"...sweet harmonies, sliding steel and sawing fiddle--define Girl Howdy's genuine jukebox sound. With a few exceptions, males dominated the post-war Honky Tonk scene. But in the 21st Century Girl Howdy rules..." - Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association Jamboree ..
