Howard Lull

On 9-21-21 Howard will release his seventh album, A Blue August Journey.
Howard’s music meets the listeners where they are at, “My congregation is out in the world,” he says. His songs are informed by scripture, hard knocks and hard living, and rebirth. Musically, Howard’s songs are steeped in rock, folk, pop-rock ballads, and classic songwriters from all genres and eras.

Howard’s latest album, A Blue August Journey, begins triumphantly with a song about failure simply titled, “Yeah, I Failed.” The song balances ethereal and emotive moments with anthemic hooks and melodic hard rock guitars. “Yeah, I Failed” captures the joy of being forgiven, and knowing there is always the redemption of the Lord as your safety net. The 11-song album also features several it’s-always-darkest-before-dawn reflective ballads, one standout is “Can I Pray For You?” which features lush choir vocals, atmospheric musicality, and boldly vulnerable lyrics. The uplifting and carefree, “C’mon Let’s Dance,” features airy textures and a 1980s pop-rock vibe, and it explores those times when faith is tested.

A Blue August Journey concludes with a pair of poignant and potent tracks, “I Will Die Young” and “Give A Damn.” “I Will Die Young” features an arena-rock style opening musical figure and is themed around keeping your youthful spirit, even when your body is broken down. The tough pop-rocker “Give A Damn” features gritty guitars and hard-luck storyteller lyrics. Visit howardlull.com for more
