I am a Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist and composer of contemporary Acoustic Soul Ballads and Pop Rock Dance music. My sound is a new and unique hybrid of soul, pop, and rock.
I've been composing music for more than 10 years, and playing to a variety of audiences while touring around the United States. Back in 1985, in New York City, I formed my first band, and we played a top 40 list of songs mostly for gigs like weddings and corporate parties. We stayed together for 4 yrs before disbanding and pursuing individual interests. At that point, I decided that my songwriting needed to be dealt with in a more serious manner, since I was coming up with really amazing new songs and compositions.
I redefined myself as a solo Singer, Songwriter and Composer using my talents as an accomplished guitarist and keyboard player to start recording my own original songs. I am well versed in music technology and recording techniques but I like bringing live musicians into a recording studio and getting it all down, rather than pro-tooling up a song on the fly.
I have performed extensively over the years as a guest soloist with bands, and as a self contained solo act in various venues such as lounges, bars, concert halls, outdoor events and festivals. I have a 4th CD upcoming in summer of 2009. Currently, my music is available in most online stores.

Brilliant fusion of pop, rock, and R&B with musky vocals
author: Shaun H. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
Howce Clemens brilliantly fuses the sounds of pop, rock, and R&B on his new EP, titled “Each Lifetime Is A Voyage.” Clemens’ voice throughout the entire album has a musky Johnny Cash vibe to it. That country vocal tone shines through on numbers like “Please Take Care” and “Little Darlin’.” Taking a nod from another rocker band fused with country, the Eagles, Clemens delivers a wonderful piece of music with the title track, “Each Lifetime Is a Voyage.” The vocal harmonies in the chorus and complementing instrumentation give this track a happy, lighthearted feel. Howce Clemens’ “Each Lifetime Is a Voyage” is a great album for any Johnny Cash or Eagles fan looking for a new and fantastic set of tunes.
