   About Sam Howard

rejoice! 8/10/08
I am a bassist and composer, and I love music. Playing, writing, creating, and listening to music is my life. I have recently relocated to Portland, OR from New York City and I am looking forward to playing with great new people. I enjoy playing almost all styles of music on electric and upright bass. I lead my own group, which performs the original tunes featured here. I hope that through my own music I can share some of the beauty, joy and inspiration that I find all around me.
