Howard Fishman Quartet’s music is a highly eclectic blend of Americana, Brooklyn soul, early jazz, rock, gospel and experimental music. Rooted in the syncopated rhythms of New Orleans, his sound combines gritty, storytelling-driven lyrics with swinging acoustic instrumentation that is highly improvisational, exuberant, and intimate, all at the same time.

Fishman has been an international touring artist for nearly three decades, and has shared bills with artists as disparate as Andrew Bird, Odetta, Yo Yo Ma, Nellie McKay, Taj Mahal, and Califone. He has released eleven albums of music to date, with another slated for release this year.

Fishman’s memorable live shows are known for their spontaneity, exploration, humor, and risk-taking. Tonight, he will be joined by Russell Farhang on violin, Rafael Castillo-Halvorssen on trumpet, and Andy Cotton on upright bass.
