I've been a part-time professional musician for more than
20 years and can help you spread the word about your

bluegrass, cover bands and light rock.

Here are a few things I can help you with:
  • Publicizing gigs through stories, photos and listings in local papers

I charge a reasonable rate for these services and will work with you to create a

more of your hard-earned money. As a working musician, I understand the
financial constraints that you face.

I have more than 20 years of journalism and public relations experience.

TESTIMONIALS

Howie is a first-rate publicist. He was able to get feature articles about me in
the Boston Globe and Herald plus many other local newspapers. Howie also
promoted my gigs with newspaper listings, articles and photos. This resulted in
a Boston Music Award nomination. As a result in the increase in my media
presence, my invitations to perform increased as well as public awareness of
my work. He’s easy to work with and does a great job.





I had Howie handle my publicity for several years and he did a great job. He
revamped my press kit, making it look professional and eye-catching. He was
then able to get some nice feature stories written about me in newspapers and
magazines. Howie also publicized my gigs in the local papers with write-ups and
photos, and obtained reviews for my CDs. I really enjoyed working with him.





I was very impressed by Howie Newman's promotional writing and because of
that I hired him to do publicity for my CD release show which turned out to be a
great success! He wrote wonderful press releases for me, sent them out to all
the important newspapers and was helpful and timely in his communications.
He supported me at my show and made sure that copies of  the article that the
Salem Evening News wrote about my show were available for everyone. His
combined experience in the newspaper business, musician and promoter make
him a great asset to have for an artist.
