Howie Day

Data updated on 2025-06-30 08:48:28 UTC
Howie Day’s emotionally resonant lyrics and inventive melodies have earned him both critical praise and a legion of devoted fans. He is known for his energetic, heartfelt shows, where he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. He has achieved hundreds of millions of streams, over a million record sales, and two Top 10 radio hits.

A native of Bangor, Maine, Day wrote, financed and released his first effort, Australia. The Boston Globe called Day “gorgeously seasoned, far beyond his years." Day began experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling techniques as he performed, layering live percussion with vocals and guitar riffs to become a veritable one-man band.

After signing with Epic Records, his major-label debut, Stop All The World Now, was certified gold in the U.S. and spawned two Top 10 radio hits: “She Says” and the platinum single “Collide.” His next release, Sound the Alarm, delved into Day’s journey from indie wunderkind to platinum-selling artist.

After leaving Epic and relocating to New York, Day toured North America, Australia and Asia. New songs began emerging that would become his fourth full-length album, Lanterns. Recorded in Boston with producer and longtime friend Mike Denneen, it's awash with warm musicality and unique instrumentation--also featuring guest vocals from Aimee Mann.

Day currently resides in Seattle and is touring celebrating the 20 year anniversary of his debut album, Australia.
