Jeff Howell's Boogie Du jour ~~ Nasty Things

Boogie Du jour, is Jeff Howell's newest venture forward; featuring music from his past, and paying homage to the 3 national acts (Foghat, The Outlaw, Savoy Brown) he has played in over the past 35 years. Taking into consideration how bands of that level motivate their audiences, Jeff applies the same elements in any of his own bands. Nothing less than quality-controlled and true to form. This music will be played with the energy and subtleties it deserves. No filler‚ all killer. Brand new material, fresh off the grill, will also be incorporated. Along on this ride is vocalist/slide & electric guitarist Greg "Mize" Meisner; on lead guitar & vocals, Richie Roccisano and Don Pharaoh on drums. All three bring their own unique strengths and experience to round out this lineup. Nasty Things off Jeff Howell's First Time CD First Time is a creative compilation of songs written and recorded over the years. Jeff's songs emulate hit record, radio friendly, poppy hooks. This collection is intended to be an example of Jeff’s song writing capabilities, rather than bass playing skills. Along with bass lines, Jeff also contributes the background vocals, and 12-string & electric guitar parts. This album is just the tip of the iceberg, as the bag of songs is overflowing.
