Thank you to everyone who came out to the show
and made it such an overwhelming success!
And very sorry to those who couldn't get in, next time
we will book a bigger room! Howie performed some great songs
old and new, including his newest hit "Don't Be Ashamed"...
check it out here.
The concert raised many bags of food for Mustardseed in

well done everyone!
Howie wants everyone to know that it was one of the most
special days of his life, and certainly the best show ever....
Thank you. Thank you very much.

Press
"Quadra club owner Gordon Town has always credited singer guitarest Howie James with making the Quadra a success over the past six years."
"Anyone who consistently makes it in the local clubs has to have something going for him...Howie James, the man with the People Power at The Living Room, and consequentially the highest paid single entertainer in town, is on of them."
Alix MacGillivray - The Vancouver Sun
"Howie James and the Jamesman have turned the place (The Quadra) into the town's most swinging non-rock roost."
"Howie James singing the blues at The Newsman Club is one of the better things around town. You havent lived until youve heard him sing tunes from Sesame Street to the slightly spiffed midnight mob." (1971)
Jack Wasserman - CJOR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Wasserman
"Howie James, the guitarist who sings so well, is actually Howie Jamieson who once sang with Evan Kemp and friends on radio and TV."
"At the Quadra Club...pleasant group called Howie James and the Jamesmen...absorbed much of the nightclub sophistication. the result is a man who can sing the standards and set the atmosphere. This kind of atmosphere is the kind you want...appeals to the introvert in us all" (1966)
Lorne Parton - Vancouver Province
"I heard Howie James singing and playing to a packed house at the Quadra...If there was a college course on ways to satisfy steadily the biggest possible audience, the faculty, led by lawrenece Welk, should include Howie (James). I think every young musician eyeing a commercial career should watch and listen to James at work." (1969)
"Its nice to welcome the coolest of them all, Howie James, back to the nightly scene. He and accompanist Clive Gard opened recently at Clementine's, Ken Stauffer's refurbished flashback in the Lulu belle on West Broadway....The set I caught was typcal James: all kinds of material from his bag of musical and vocal tricks, and I must admit I was especially taken with the sophisticated sambas and bossa novas." (1975)
Bob Smith - Vancouver Sun
