SUMMARY:James Howard in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Encore – James Howard in Concert\n\n\n\nJoin James in an electrifying night of blues-rock brilliance where virtuosic guitar\, soulful vocals\, and other-worldly sound collide. \n\n\n\n\nIf it’s possible to relax into excitement—to hear color painted on sound—then experiencing James Howard live is exactly that. His guitar fills the room with an other-worldly glow: ethereal and expansive\, yet grounded and earthy. It’s no surprise Howard is celebrated equally for his soulful Blues-Rock originals and his mesmerizing\, layered instrumentals. \nA San Francisco Bay Area native with more than 40 years on stage\, James Howard delivers an electrifying live show that blends virtuoso guitar\, inspirational vocals\, and fearless songwriting. Drawing inspiration from legends like Santana\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, B.B. King\, Jeff Beck\, and Pat Travers\, Howard fuses traditional blues with psychedelic roots rock—seasoned with touches of Latin and jazz—to create a sound that’s uniquely his own. \nHis accolades speak volumes: \n\nWinner\, Washington Blues Society Finals — 2016 & 2023\nCompetitor\, International Blues Challenge\, Memphis\, TN\nWinner\, 2012 Best Blues Guitarist — Lee Ritenour’s Six String Theory Global Guitar Competition\nSemi-finalist\, Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Competition\n\nWhat critics are saying: \n“What Howard can do with a guitar is remarkable… sweet and brilliant… deep in the well when it comes to guitar wizardry & creativity.” — Delta Snake Daily Blues \n“A Jimi Hendrix on guitar with John Lennon’s voice and vision… a songwriter with great depth.” — Rock and Blues News\n“Guitarist extraordinaire… a breathtaking exhibition… simply awesome.” — Music Connection Magazine \nThis special Encore performance is your chance to hear a master musician at the height of his powers—intimate\, immersive\, and unforgettable. \n\n\n\n\nThe College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and educational institution committed to an environment free of discrimination and harassment.
