It’s been six years since Chicago blues veterans Howard & the White Boys last put out a CD, but their new Evidence Records release, Made in Chicago, more than makes up for lost time. Their impressively large fan base on both sides of the Atlantic won’t be disappointed. Not by a long shot. Made in Chicago represents the zenith of the band’s recorded output, and it’s certainly the disc that Howard & the White Boys are most proud of. While the band hasn’t recorded in six years, they’ve been gigging continuously throughout the U.S. and Europe and this has lent their trademark brand of contemporary blues an indomitable tightness brimming with raw power.
Howard and the White Boys have been nominated in multiple categories in the South Bay Music Award in Los Angeles, CA
The Categories are:
Blues Artist/Group Of The Year (Howard and the White Boys)
Male Vocalist Of The Year (Howard McCullum)
