About Me

The New Live EP is now available for sale...Check out the link below...
On a cold West Michigan night, Brother Howe gave the show of their lives for the few hardy souls brave enough to face the weather and icy roads along I-94. The performance, however, was hot and sweaty and was lucky enough to be captured and recorded for the future wonder and enjoyment of generations to come (thanks to the modern marvel known as iTunes).
Recorded three years after the release of the first Brother Howe album Rock ‘n Roll Country, Live EP stands as a testament to how the bands sound and music evolved into a purer form of country punk. Six songs, including Folsom Prison Blues, scream by like the big rigs on I-94 carrying their load of joyous, raucous and righteous country punk music that will lift your soul and carry you through another day.

From Jukesbar.com: "BROTHER HOWE calls their music "cowpunk rock." Every time they play JUKES they are less "cow" and more "punk." This stuff is for fans of Uncle Tupelo, Social Distortion and The Rev. Horton Heat. They sound great. This band rocks. BROTHER HOWE packs the joint every time they play JUKES. See 'em while you can still brag about being there before they were big." - Juke's Bar
Brother Howe is a Country Punk band from Holland, Michigan. Formed in the summer of 2003, Brother Howe's live shows are fast, raw and fun, featuring tight harmonies and lots of whooping, hollering, and sweating.
The self-recorded, 11-song debut album titled "Rock 'N Roll Country" features straight ahead rock and punk songs and their own brand of country punk. The sound is unique, upbeat and catchy.
As the name implies, Brother Howe is a family affair with Jason Howe on electric guitar and lead vocals, his wife Jeri Howe on acoustic guitar, brother Nathan Howe on bass and Ash Snyder on drums.
