Poor Howard Stith - $6

"Poor Howard" Stith has been performing traditional and original 12-string blues for over thirty years and has shared the stage with such notable bluesmen as John Jackson, Archie Edwards and Peg Leg Sam. Born in Kansas City, Howard has performed across the U.S., as well as in Germany and Japan. His latest project is a library and school program on "The Music Of Leadbelly and His Contemporaries". Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe says, "Poor Howard's 12-string guitar has the solid propulsive groove of a steady-moving freight train... In his care, old songs never seem old, but timeless, personal, pulsing with knowable human emotions. His own songs nestle beside them as if they grew up together.
