John Howie Jr a singer and writer who grew up in a trailer in the woods. He's a Chapel Hill stalwart inevitably bound for the NC Music Hall of Fame. He plays country music - straight, no chaser, with the soulful baritone of a backwoods Barry White.
His current outfit, John Howie Jr and the Rosewood Bluff, is beloved by fans, critics, and fellow musicians. John also made a classic duets record with Tift Merritt, and played drums with Sarah Shook and the Disarmers, and the infamous Chapel Hill band, Snatches of Pink. His previous band, The Two-Dollar Pistols is known world-wide as a gold standard modern Honky Tonk Country Music.
And he does it all sober as a judge. Now anyway.
