Drummer and singer Hal Howland is now a regular member of the Carl Peachey Band, in residence since 1995 at Captain Tony’s Saloon, 428 Greene St., Key West, 305-294-1838. (Howland had been Peachey’s first-call sub since 2003.)
The two old friends and former Washingtonians are joined by Miami virtuoso bassist Samson Ramos in a vast repertoire of classic and contemporary rock, soul, funk, blues, reggae, pop, and original music. The group performs every Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. and on special occasions throughout the year at the famous Hemingway watering hole (humorously depicted in Howland’s new novel Landini Cadence).
Howland continues to perform also with Howard Livingston & Mile Marker 24. Before moving to the Keys in 2000, Howland was the timpanist of the National Chamber Orchestra and the leader of the critically acclaimed Howland Ensemble recording group, with whom he received a jazz fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
