Long regarded as one of rock's legendary voices, BRIAN HOWE will release his solo album CIRCUS BAR February 26^th on Frontiers Records. This album will also include two stunning – newly recorded - remakes of the Bad Company hits “How ‘Bout That” and “Holy Water.” CIRCUS BAR was produced by Brooks Paschal and mixed by Rafe McKenna (GIANT, BAD COMPANY, TESLA, TEN).

HOWE had some friends help shape up CIRCUS BAR such as  Wayne Nelson of The Little River Band who dropped by the studio for a few days and also Pat Travers popped in and played guitar on "My Town". “I didn't want to have too many "established" musicians on the record because I wanted to keep the feel somewhat fresh and spontaneous”, explains HOWE. This album promises to be a career landmark for this amazing singer’s career.

HOWE started his career in 1983 as lead vocalist for Ted Nugent on the "Penetrator" album and fronting its band on the subsequent world tour. In 1984, drummer Simon Kirke and guitarist Mick Ralphs asked HOWE to replace Paul Rodgers as the lead singer in Bad Company. HOWE decided to accept the offer and continue the legend of the band. This was not an easy task, but along with Kirke and Ralphs, HOWE created, wrote, recorded and toured for the following 10 years, headlining every major venue around the globe.

Along with Bad Company's highly acclaimed 1993 live CD "What You Hear Is What You Get - The Best of Bad Company - Live", HOWE wrote and sold with Bad Company something like 19 million of records, highlighted by such radio and video hits as "Holy Water”, "If You Needed Somebody," "No Smoke Without A Fire," and "How About That," - not to mention a few of the group's previous hits as recorded on the "live" CD.

“It's been 13 years since my last record and on this CD I have given them everything I have: music that appeals to anyone that likes big melodies with an edge”. 100% gold class awaits the faithful fans that will purchase CIRCUS BAR, better believe it: BRIAN HOWE is back to Rock!

I’m Back; Life’s Mystery; There’s This Girl; Could Have Been You; Surrounded; Flying; How It Could Have Been; My Town; How ‘Bout That; Feels Like I’m Coming Home; If You Want Trouble; Feelings; Holy Water; Little George Street.
