65 songs are in the can, and the mix has begun. Look out for an HF explosion this fall with the release of four (count ‘em, four!) new CDs!

Recording Update
Work continues apace on the three new CDs, and a late Fall release date is being eyed, followed by a substantial list of new tour dates (including Howard's first-ever visit to the Bay Area on the West coast). Over 40 new Howard Fishman songs have been recorded with various ensembles, including songs that have been in the live repertoire for some time (the "Romania" songs) alongside many that have yet to be performed anywhere. All three CDs will be released simultaneously, with a special 3-disc collector's limited edition pressing available as well. Stay tuned!
Seems Like Old Times
From April 2000-September 2003, Howard and the band were in residence every Thursday night at PETE’S CANDY STORE in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The little back room at Pete’s became a sort of musical laboratory for the band, where new material was constantly being tried out, new band members made their debuts, and spontaneity and experimentation ruled. So, it is with great pleasure that we announce Howard’s return to Thursday nights at Pete’s for the month of April only! Two sets begin at 11pm. New material. Special guests. Good times. Don’t miss it.
