American Man, Brother Howe’s long awaited full length album is now available through a pre-release private launch! It is for email subscribers and fans from December 6th through 12th only.
Here’s what you get:
A high-quality digital download of the album with two extra bonus tracks that will not be on the cd. You’ll get instant access to a zip file with high quality 320 kbps mp3 files downloaded directly to your computer.
You wanted a physical copy of the album? Well as another bonus, if you order the digital download, you have the option of pre-ordering an autographed copy of the physical cd for $4.99 as well. These come in a handsomely packaged fold-open digi-pak (sorry I don’t have pictures yet, but the proofs look great and we’re really proud of them). And you can pre-order as many copies at this price as you want and have them mailed to your home in time for Christmas (just in case you wanted to have a few extra copies for gifts or stocking stuffers).
However, there is a limited run of 100 the physical cd’s so if they run out, we won’t be able to ship in time for Christmas. If you want to be sure to get your copy, you’ll want to act fast.
This deal is only available through our website and is not available now on iTunes, Amazon or in any stores.
Hey we got a winner on the band photo contest and the winner was…A. The Band at the Side of the Car. However, we have some good news because it turns out there was room for two photos so we are going to include D. Band on top of car where I am lifting the guitar high in triumph! I was happy to be able to include that one too as it was a clear favorite of you guys as well as mine.
The artwork is looking very sweet too…here is a first look at the front of the album:

This is a picture of Luke VanLiere (Nathan and my Grandpa) taken in 1944 when he was 35 and goofing around pretending to be Popeye (hence the sailor uniform, although you can’t see the hat very well in the lighting).
And in other news, we got a super cool write up the other day at http://ear2theground.posterous.com/brotherhowe-brother-howe-band-of-the-week.
Have a good one!
Hi guys, we are having a heck of a time picking the band photo to use on the back of our new album. This is the last step we have before sending the album off to the printers! So I would like your help. The band photo that gets the most votes wins and it will go on our album. So if you can take a quick couple of seconds, look them over and pick which one you like best in the survey below it would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks for your help!
Update: The results are in and the winner is A, with 56% of the votes! I realized after I made the form that I effectively split the vote between C and D. However, even taking those two together, they didn’t have as many votes as A, so A is the winner. Thanks for everyone who cast a vote!!!
