Howie Day

“Day is a rare talent… mesmerizing” – All Music

Howie Day’s emotionally resonant lyrics and inventive melodies have earned him both critical praise and a legion of devoted fans. He delivers energetic, heartfelt shows. There, he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. Furthermore, Day’s warm tenor voice “soars into uttering, high registers, but also grates with real, pleading grit”. 

A native of Bangor, Maine, Day began playing piano at age five and guitar at age twelve. By fifteen, he was writing his own songs and performing across New England. Then, shortly after graduating high school, Day became a fixture at college coffeehouses across the U.S. He wrote, financed and released his first effort, Australia, which won Best Debut Album at the 2001 Boston Music Awards. Then, Day began experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling techniques as he performed. Here, he layered live percussion with vocal harmonies and guitar parts to become a veritable one-man band. He would sell over 30,000 copies of Australia as he navigated the independent music scene and continued to hone his craft. 

In 2003, Day released his major-label debut, Stop All The World Now, and hit the road to support it. This groundbreaking album, featuring the 4x platinum single “Collide”, continues to astound audiences. Two additional studio albums (Sound The Alarm, Lanterns) followed, and Day has spent over twenty years sharing this everlasting music. His incredible live show will no doubt cultivate life changing and poignant moments around the world for many more years.
