Howard, a Jacksonville Beach native states, "I play what I like to call, 'feel good music'."
"As a teenager growing up in the 60' and 70's, if I liked a song, I sat down and learned how to play it—that made me feel good. I like the singer/songwriter songs of my youth and love songs of all decades. Later, I fell in love with the jazz standards of the 40's—the Great American song book. My music is easy to listen to, not too loud, and hopefully will put a smile on your face and make you “feel good” too."

Howard plays various instruments besides the guitar including the piano. He and his wife have three children, a daughter-in-law and new grand-daughter. As a life long resident of the beaches, Howard has a love for surfing, and a passion for the community. He has impacted the beaches and surrounding communities in many ways including pastoring a local church and residing as Chaplain for the Neptune Beach Police Department.
