Search - Danielle Howle :: Thank You Mark

Oft-compared to Nina Simone and Flannery O?Connor, Danielle Howle is a powerful frontwoman whose vivid, slightly off-kilter musical stories weave a sweet sensibility and bare honesty into her work. Her solo performances are breathtaking; she?s one of the few artists that can hold an audience spellbound whether she?s backed by a band or alone performing an a cappella number. Howle is just as renowned for her ingenuous between-song banter. Her intuitive, often hilarious insights and her ability to connect with her listeners has brought both critical acclaim and a legion of loyal fans. Thank You, Mark, produced by Mark Bryan (Susan Cowsill, Mary Karlzen), manages to capture Howle?s essence and vivid personality. Accompanied by top-notch musicians Sam Bush, Bryon House, Tim Vaill, John Young (Spottiswoode and His Enemies), Les Hall (Howie Day), and including a Stax-Volt-inspired duet with fellow South Carolinian Darius Rucker, Howle?s songwriting shows an artist at the peak of her craft, skillfully blending Americana with R&B, classic jazz and a dash of swing, all stamped with her uniquely Southern sensibility.
