- My Musical Biography
- 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 "axes" nowadays are ukulele and harmonica. He's starting to throw in a bit of melodica as well.
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.
In addition to his solo efforts Howlin' is once again busking at the Pike Place Market, the Ballard Sunday Market, and other locations in Seattle and also plays with his band, Snake Suspenderz. Check out their site for upcoming gigs.

Are you promoting the Ukulele Social Club?
You should be too.
Talk about it in your personal blog, on your favorite forums, to your friends in your local ukulele club and to anyone else you know that might be interested.
A ukulele social network goes so far beyond the usual forums and has so much more to offer.
Remember! The more the merrier!

I haven't been gigging much lately so I'm out of practice. Dave Talsma has asked me to do some stuff for his website, so I might have some short videos there sometime.
Hope things are going well for you.

I think there will be other Seattleites coming soon. Maybe we should invite them.
It's nice to see you here. I don't think we've met, but I've seen you a few times at SUPA. I like your music. I also like that pretty little soprano that you carry. Pat
Hope to see you in 2009.

I have been really diggin' your rehearsal recordings, it prompted me to post some similar recordings of The Night Owls on the bands blog. Will you be posting some more soon?
