REVIEWS YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE

Wildy's World
(EXCERPT)
Howie Newman is also one of the most engaging singer/songwriters on the
New England folk circuit. His humorous and ultimate human observational
songs put listeners at ease, and his live presence is as folksy and down home
as you could imagine. Newman recently released a new captured live EP, You
Should Been There, a highly entertaining 6-song cycle featuring Newman at his
best.
Newman keeps things simple on You Shoulda Been There, letting the sweet
authenticity of his songs speak for itself. While Newman's songwriting generally
stays on the lighter side, there's a palpable heart to his work that you simply
can't ignore. You Shoulda Been There is highly entertaining. There will always be
coffee house stages waiting for performers like Howie Newman.

Melrose Free Press
(EXCERPT)
First and foremost, Melrose resident Howie Newman is a performer. His shows
are hilarious, interactive, spontaneous — and just plain fun. So it’s no surprise
that he put together an album that bottled the atmosphere of a live
performance.
You Shoulda Been There is a highly entertaining collection of tunes that strike a
chord with people of all ages. If you can’t make it to one of Howie Newman’s
live shows, this is the next best thing.
