Howe Legendary Fusion guitarist
and music
producer
Greg Howe
started playing the guitar at the age of 10 and by his
middle teens, after discovering Van Halen, became
obsessed with guitar while transforming his confident
playing of pentatonic scales on the guitar into a
broader understanding of music. By his late teens he had
already began playing in clubs with his rock band, which
featured his brother Al on lead vocals. Over the course
of the next few years Greg continued to hone his guitar
skills while playing in rock bands.
In 1988
Shrapnel Records owner and infamous guitar
connoisseur Mike Varney asked Howe to record an
album for his label after hearing a demo that Greg
had sent him with the hopes of being featured in
Varney's Spotlight column for Guitar Player
magazine. That album,
simply entitled " Along
the way he would make himself available as a sideman for
pop superstars, filling in for guitarist Jennifer Batten
in 1996 on Michael Jackson's History tour through Europe
and Asia, touring the U.S. and Europe in 2000 with
Enrique Inglesias, making two separate tours of the
states in 2001 and 2002 with NSYNC and doing a
promotional tour in 2003 with Justin Timberlake. In
fact, Howe ultimately ended up leaving the Timberlake
tour in 2003 in order to complete work on "Extraction",

After recording
two vocal albums with his brother (1990's "High Gear"
and 1991's "Now Hear This"), the guitarist's second solo
album(1993's "Introspection") set the tone for what
would eventually become a series of eight fresh forays
in to the mosaic of jazz, rock, fusion, funk, and blues.
With each subsequent album - 1994's "Uncertain Terms",
1995's "Parallax", 1996's "Five", 1998's "Ascend", and
2000's "Hypercuity" Howe would make bolder and more
satisfying strides into fusion music.
