Label: Àudiovisuals de Sarrià

Howdy plays mainly Bluegrass infused original material with a couple of Oldtime and traditional numbers thrown in for good measure. Based in Donostia-San Sebastian (Basque Country), Howdy started their musical journey back in 2012, sharing the stage with different musicians and exploring the different styles, eventually settling into their particular unique sound. The current members of Howdy are Jon Arzelus on upright bass, Urbil Artola on dobro, Jose Mari Pulido on banjo, Julen Maestro on diatonic accordion and Gorka Arranz on guitar and main vocals.

In 2019 they embarked in a year of recording their first self produced album of 12 original tracks, which they have been working on over the last few years. They recorded it in Lezoti Studio in Oiartzun, in April 2019 and the album came out in January 2020. They have the baking vocals of Jon Anton on “Fire’s Waltz” and Jon Gurrutxaga singing lead “Bidean Zehar”
