“Super cool sounds from Northwestern this evening, a duo that works effortlessly together, crafting great songs and delivering them impeccably!

 

Get down and check them out!”

 

[October ’25 Salty Dog.]

 

 

 

Northwestern is a dynamic duo whose engaging performances and stellar recorded work reflect the considerable skills of both artists.

​

 

Chris Howarth is an eloquent singer-songwriter in the classic vein whose compositions have drawn substantive praise, for example, from Sonoro “ a core of compassionate optimism underscores the song-writing.... damn great, a fascinating meditation.”

 

 

Adrian Hough is a bottleneck guitarist who is renowned for his sympathetic accompaniment and emotive expression, about whom, Guitarist magazine stated that his “sublime slide-work is as stunning as it is varied.”

 

 

Together these two fine artists deliver a set of primarily original songs with interpretations of classics to appreciative audiences, wherever they play.
