Rupert Wates was born in London and studied at Oxford University. He has been a full-time songwriter since the late 1990s, and then he moved in the United States in 2006. He is now based in New York City and Colorado. Since then, he has won more than fifty songwriting and performing awards. His music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville, and cabaret. He has released twelve solo CDs while playing 120 live shows every year, in acoustic venues in every state in America, in Canada, and in Europe. He has a new album, Elegies, which showcases his great guitar work and masterful songwriting.
It has been a very long time since David Stuart Howard performed on our stage. You might remember him as “Dave Howard”. David released a strong string of albums from the 1990s until the twenty-teens, when other matters required his attention. He is now jumping back on the music train, with a retrospective album, fresh performances, and, some new material. David was a mainstay of the vibrant 1990s local coffeehouse scene, and later fronted the Blackout Blues Band and The Shamey Jays. A three-time nominee for the San Diego Music Awards, he has written and performed with A.J. Croce, Berkley Hart, Lisa Sanders, and Joe Rathburn, as well as having his songs covered by a who’s-who of our favorite artists including Gregory Page and Peter Bolland.
