Very talented singer-songwriter and guitarist that plays several genres of music easily like Blues, Pop, Rock and Soul with his band The Howard Pereira Trio.
As a songwriter who has been part of various projects like Depth, Dischordian and Overhung over the years, a lot of self-written material tends to be temporarily left aside, simply because they didn’t fit the kind of music he was doing with his projects at that time. Howard realized that a lot of this material falls pretty much in the blues music space that he had recently explored, and is now the foundation for his playing style as a guitar player. The Howard Pereira Trio, formerly known as 'Howie and The Backing Band‘, is an attempt to bring these songs to the fore in a new way that will rely more on feeling the moment than the safety of a structured song. Also, Howard has always loved singing, but just felt more comfortable expressing himself through the guitar, so this is a brand-new avatar for him as a singer as well. The band is comprised of seasoned musicians that he is comfortable playing with, and features Agnelo Picardo (Dischordian) on drums and Crosby Fernandes (Vayu/Paravayu) on the bass guitar.
