Bio
Howlin’ Hobbit has been playing music and singing since grade school. That was somewhere back in the dark ages.
Howlin’ plays a variety of instruments, but his main “axe” nowadays is the ukulele.
Over the years Howlin’ has played guitar and harmonica with several groups including Peanut Envy, Loose Livin’, and Blues Plate Special. He’s played washboard with Dog Mafia, the Emerald City Jug Band and Patsy Fuller, another busker (from the U.K.), and was featured in that capacity (as well as vocals and harmonica) on her CD ‘Twixt Pike & Pine.
For quite a while he was one of the featured vocalists for Snake Suspenderz as well as playing ukulele and sometimes harmonica with the group. They Snakes are in hiatus now but still have recordings available.
In addition to busking at the Pike Place Market, the Ballard Sunday Market, and other locations in Seattle, WA, USA, Howlin’ is concentrating on developing his solo show for everything from house concerts to burlesque shows, club shows, private parties and other venues.
