Howe Gelb
Howe Gelb (born October 22, 1956, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer based in Tucson, Arizona. Projects Gelb's approach to music is collaborative and he has recorded with a number of side projects. In a 2004 interview with Gelb, ''The Guardian'' wrote "Gelb's way of dealing with it was to treat Giant Sand (not to be confused with his 1970s electro-rock band Giant Sandworms) as a loose, uncompetitive, mutually supportive musical collective, a place for friends to hang out and play. 'I just liked the idea of having this kind of removed world, this brotherhood—the idea of a band being something more than a front person or dealing with the throes of fame.'" In 2013, he worked with the Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall on her fourth studio album ''Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon''. He co-wrote and co-produced, and sang on several songs. His own solo album entitled ''The Coincidentalist'' was released on New West Rec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
