Howard Fishman & Band Friday, Critically-acclaimed composer, guitarist, songwriter, singer and bandleader Howard Fishman has toured the world as a headliner for nearly two decades, fronting ensembles versed in pop, New Orleans jazz, country, bluegrass, classical, punk, gospel and experimental music, but tied to no particular genre. The New York Times has written that his work "transcends time and idiom," and The All-Music Guide has called him "an important force in creative music." He has appeared on stages ranging from Lincoln Center to rural Romania, produced and released eleven albums of his music, been profiled on numerous syndicated NPR programs, composed music for theater and film, and written and directed plays.
