LONG-OVERDUE UPDATE
Saturday, 11 June 2011
Hello, anybody out there. I've been lying low this year but I have been working on two new records. One, Shadowlands, I've done myself at home. It's turned out very well and should be out some time around October - I hope. The other one will be just with guitarist, John Berto (from the Dads' Band). That's all the news for now. There'll be some new music posted soon; but it will all be available through Bandpage at facebook/jack howard too. Hope you're all well. cheers, Jack

Well, it's been a quiet winter on The Nightbirds' front; but I have been busy - playing and recording with Little Red, The Break and You Am I. The most exciting news though is that we have a new video out! Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K9PfkJYxyQ and have a look.
It's made me look cool, at last - I think? Come and visit at facebook (jack howard) too.

Hello out there, punters. Hope you're all well and looking forward to a glorious year of football and music. The Nightbirds have got a few shows just around the corner - Purepop Records in St.Kilda on Sunday March 21st and April 4th; then, a full show with horns, tables to sit at and very special guests on Saturday May 1st at Spenserslve at 419 Spencer St., Melbourne. I'll also be playing at Chaucer's on April 23rd with The Ambassadors of Love; and at Boogiefest on Sat. April 3rd with Rob Hirst's new band, The Break. Should be a big couple of months. I've also been in the process of writing lots of new music for 3 new CD's that I've got planned. More about that when I have a clue. See you soon, Jackx
2 VERY SPECIAL SHOWS
Thursday, 17 December 2009
Howdy. We have 2 special shows coming up - one a welcome home; and one a farewell. On Wed.Dec.23rd, we play at the Elwood RSL and welcome home Kieran Jones (who played double bass on Lost Horizon) for one show only before he dashes back overseas to continue his stellar career in the U.K; and on Sat.Jan.9th, again at the Elwood RSL, we very reluctantly farewell Jo Schornikow, our wonderful pianist, as she returns to New York City - tears will roll!
Also, as I've said, if anyone has trouble with the paypal system of purchasing songs and CD's here, just email me at jackhoward@iprimus.com.au, and we'll sort it out. Merry Christmas!!
