“Howard’s voice is so different sounding, he’s transportive…it’s so difficult to write words to qualify how good, how vital this record is…” -Americana UK

Michael Howard is a songwriter born and raised in the wilds of Alaska. Spinning “stand-out folk songs” Michael brings energy, passion, and a “fierceness in his music” to each of his performances (Anchorage PRESS). He is currently touring in support of his second-full length album “The Martyr and the Magician” which includes tracks produced by Jacob Winik (The Magnetic Fields, Pomplamoose, Samantha Crain). Michael was recently selected as a finalist in the NPR Mountain Stage Radio Show NewSong national songwriting competition, and in his short career he has opened for talented songwriters including Jeffrey Martin, John Craigie, J Wagner, and Samantha Crain.
