Happy Feet Howe

Join Happy Feet Howe and company on an endearing voyage into loves found, loves lost, sweet melodies, and a good time.

After a magical trip to Nashville, Miles Howe found himself wintering on the Canadian West Coast. Armed with time, a mandolin, his harmonicas, and a head full of words, Howe began the arduous process of satisfying his own creative demons through song. A summer of tree planting in the British Columbia interior solidified his material, and his resolve to record. It was then back to his hometown of Ottawa, to recover the mantle of Ottawa Valley Cow Jazz, and seek the assistance of some talented friends.

It’s hard to pin down Happy Feet Howe into a recognizable genre. Instead, we suggest that you let your fingers do the tapping, your feet do the stomping, your skin do the shivering, and your heart do the opening.
