Howie Gelb

Howie Askay has been a staple in the rock music scene for over thirty years. Based out of Portland Oregon, he has been a compass for others to follow his whole career. With over ten albums on his shelf as a recording artist, he is constantly pushing the boundaries of his abilities as a song writer. As much as he loves the process of writing and performing, his passion envelops producing music. He has been a producer for labels and other artists since 1998. He loves to drop in on a session unannounced to put an ear on someone's project. His motto is "An artist can wear many blindfolds, it's up to me to strip them off and offer a new direction for them to travel along."

Howe Gelb has been recording for 30 years as the leader of Giant Sand, a Southwestern band with many lineups and guises centered on his conversational vocals: twangy, mariachi-tinged, jazzy, noisy, trivial, metaphysical. "Further Standards" takes inventory by adding Lonna Kelley to several of the original tracks from “Future Standards” to ‘up’ the previous standard. Further, it offers evidence of how these standards hold up live in concert one recent steamy night in London.

The Standard Of Further: After a year of taking these new piano standards on the road, we now have a better sense of how they roll off the fingertips. As we enter our second year performing these pieces from Future Standards , the material has taken on the sonic patina of precisely the intention of the title. This new album now takes inventory by adding Lonna Kelley to several of the original tracks from Future Standards to up the previous standard. Further, it offers evidence of how these standards hold up live in concert one recent steamy night in London.

Unerfreuliches Wiedertreffen für Trainer Norbert: Sein alter Jugendtrainer steigt mit seinem Team aus Lückstedt in die gleiche Liga wie die Teufelskicker auf. Dabei bedient er sich immer noch den gemeinen Trainingsmethoden wie damals. Norbert will für das Probespiel die Abwehr etwas stärker machen, doch anscheinend kennen die Lückstedter jeden Spielzug auswendig…
