• December 1st 2023 - My new album “SHADOW PUPPETS & MY LITTLE BABOON” drops today.  I'm so excited for you all to hear it. Get your copy here  https://howieaskay.com/music or on any online streaming app.

• - November 1st 2023 - NEW ALBUM NEWS.   "Shadow Puppets And My Little Baboon" will be available December 1st 2023 WORLDWIDE.  This is a 30 song, all acoustic album. "I've always wanted to go back to the days of analog. The days where it was just an instrument, a room, a microphone and a tape machine connected to a great console. Those days are long gone unless you have access to that kind of equipment. Luckily, Hobo Studio's had everything and more at my disposal. I needed the challenge of experimenting enough to find the sound that I heard in my head and capture it on tape. Placing a microphone (or many microphones) in a room to produce a reverb or delay. To get that perfect performance in one take." What Howie has captured is an acoustical performance that sounds electrified, without using amps or effects. He chose to use all acoustical instrumentation, even if he had to learn an instrument he'd never played before, he was willing to quickly learn and rise to the challenge. Being that this is Howie's fourth solo studio album, he strode to give his audience something totally fresh and of quality. "I am very proud how this album depicts my life lyrically for the year 2023. It's almost like a scrapbook from that year, without being completely biographical." Howie invited some amazing songwriters and musical guests to complete his vision for this album. “Everyone worked so hard to finish this album. The songs are amazing. It really shows that with a lot of hard work and a little luck, we can create magic.”

• - February 2020 - hOWIE aSKAY will be releasing his new 19 song country album BEAVERCREEK.  "I've been working very hard this past few months writing and recording my new country album.  Although this is a new platform of music for me, the album has had some outstanding reviews from some close colleagues who I admire very much.  After recording over 30 songs, I have narrowed it down to 19 very strong compositions that we believe can compete with anything you would hear on the radio today.  I have had the pleasure of working with some astonishing producers and heart stopping Portland based musicians on this album.  I am glad to announce that there will be some amazing performances for you to witness by these fine artists. We can't wait for you to lay an ear on this new venture."
