Clint Howard

about

"Ever since we’ve been aware of American Folk music as an art form, the name Clint Howard has been known to us as one of the most respected and influential personalities in American musical history. His groundbreaking recordings of classic American Folk repertoire have been cornerstones for countless musicians and audiences throughout the world. It is our humble belief that Clint Howard deserves to be recognized as one of the nation’s greatest treasures." The Krüger Brothers The old time musical tradition began for Clint Howard when he was around 6, listening to his mother sing a line from a hymn or ballad. His Father bought him a guitar when he turned 11. After teaching himself to play the guitar, he spent many hours singing and picking and almost a decade later he began to perform regularly. But it was not until the early 1960’s when Howard first came to the attention of folks outside his home region of NE Tennessee. The oft told tale of Howard, Clarence "Tom" Ashley, and Fred Price’s meeting with Ralph Rinzler at the Union Grove, NC Fiddler’s Convention in 1960 led to Howard traveling and recording with Price, Doc Watson and others, making friends and developing fans in all parts of the country. In the 70’s he formed a band called Clint Howard, Fred Price & Sons, which became well known as a great mountain music band. They had show dates at the Smithsonian, Washington, DC, the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville and the National Folk Festival Wolf Trap Farm Park in Vienna,
