20.01.2022 Howdy. Here's another excerpt from my upcoming book, Small Moments Of Glory. We've skipped forward nine years and H & C have Ghost Nation out and are about to tour the world with The Oils. If you want to pre-order the book (and the new CD), head to jackhoward.bandcamp.com. Cheers! _____ They say never read (or is it never believe?) your own press but Ross Clelland (who wrote a lot of reviews and articles about us over the years) wrote some pretty insightful words in a review ...Continue reading

15.01.2022 In solidarity with all people affected by ongoing systemic racism and violence and in response to the events we are seeing unfold before us, We will support ‘Black Out Tuesday’. It is not business as usual. This is not a black problem or an American problem; this is a global issue which we cannot ignore. The Australian media may not report on our own atrocities but they do exist, and they do matter. There have been at least 432 Aboriginal deaths in custody since 1991. While I/we understand that social media is not the solution, We are committed to taking steps both small and large in order to see real change.

14.01.2022 Howdy, Hunners folk. Hope you're all getting by out there. Here in Victoria, we're back where we started which is a major bummer, I have to say. Hopefully, everyone does the right thing and we get out of it sooner rather than later. In the meantime...I picked up my new CD, Dog Songs, the other day! The companion piece to my book. All of your Christmas presents sorted, right here! You can pre-order both from https://jackhoward.bandcamp.com soon and you should be able to find both the book and the CD in all of your good book and record stores from September. Cheers, Jack

13.01.2022 Excited to share the video for the next song from ‘Slow Dawn’, ‘Kliptown Mud’. One week until the album is released! https://smarturl.it/SlowDawn

12.01.2022 Howdy. Hope you're doing well. We can almost smell the freedom here in Melbourne! Oh, to go and see a live band again, drink beer and sweat, be joyously pounded by a bass guitar and a kick drum. Let Me Live is the second single from my new CD, Dog Songs. We usually save it until last in our sets and everyone in the room sings the 'Hallelujah' chorus with great gusto. It features Nicky Del Rey in stellar lead guitar form and Ed Bates on pedal steel. And of course, the rest of ...us go alright too. It tells the tale of a typical St. Kilda troubadour who's been playing the corner bars and dives for the last forty years without ever breaking it big. Still out there, playing with great beauty and inebriation. The album is also now available on all of your favourite streaming services (just look up 'Jack Howard - Dog Songs'). Go to jackhoward.bandcamp.com if you want to spend some money. Cheers, Jack

12.01.2022 We are disappointed to advise patrons that the scheduled Red Hot Summer Tour dates this October in Kiama, Ballarat and the Barossa cannot proceed due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. The health and welfare of patrons, our crew and the communities that the tour visits is of upmost importance to us. We are happy to let you know that all bands will join together in the summer of ’22 to play these three sold out shows, and hope you can keep your current ticket and join us on the new dates and thank you for your ongoing support. Ticketmaster will be contacting all account holders in coming days with your options, and for those of you who are unable to make it on the new dates information will given to you by Ticketmaster on how to apply for a full refund.

12.01.2022 Howdy. A quick update from my own band page on my musical goings-on which you may or not be interested in. Technically, H & C should have been completing the Red Hot Summer Tour just yesterday! But of course, our plans were waylaid...as were everyone else's. Hope you're all doing well and finding good ways to re-invent normal. Here's a shot of me on the day I moved out of home. Cheers, Jack

12.01.2022 Tune into The Sound at 5.30pm TODAY on ABC TV + iview to relive Hunters & Collectors memorable Sound Relief performance at the MCG in 2009. Alongside this special From the Vault segment, today’s episode also features Jessica Mauboy, Diesel, a tribute to The Go-Betweens and much more great Australian music.

12.01.2022 Howdy, Hunnas folk. Myself and my mighty original band The Long Lost Brothers set foot back in our favourite venue, The Dogs Bar, next Friday night May 29th for a Facebook Live full band performance. I can't wait. I'm really missing it! Some of the best production heads in the country will be looking after sound and vision for the show so it should be pretty bloody special. Some of you probably know about the Epic Brass thing that I do but this is a good chance for you to see The Brothers "live". You can catch it on - https://www.facebook.com/dogsbarstk/ (Dogs Bar facebook page). Cheers, Jack

10.01.2022 I just received the advance copy of my book in the mail! Pretty bloody excited about it. Small Moments Of Glory will be out in September. Expect a deluge of shameless self-promotion around about then.

09.01.2022 Let the avalanche of shameless self-promotion begin!

08.01.2022 The band performing "Night Driving" live on The Sound from the just released album "Slow Dawn". If you missed the show you can also catch it on iView https://iview.abc.net.au/show/sound

07.01.2022 Vika & Linda are really passionate singers, they're grounded, they believe in music (which is a rare thing), and they've endured down the years. When we used to sing together it was always an incredibly stellar moment. Their anthology album is out now. I highly recommend you buy a copy here: https://smarturl.it/Akilotoa Mark Seymour ... https://www.dropbox.com//Mark%20Seymour%20%28take%202%29.m See more

07.01.2022 Today’s the day Slow Dawn is out now! Listen here: https://smarturl.it/SlowDawn. I hope you enjoy the album, and stay safe in this crazy world. I can’t wait to get back out on the road and see you all very soon..

06.01.2022 Howdy, folks. Hope you're all well and starting to return to roughly normal lives. I got back to actual teaching this week after doing it remotely for a couple of months. (I can confirm that a trumpet sounds better live than through a tinny laptop speaker!) And there are some actual live gigs starting to appear on the horizon which is a very good thing. If you missed my live streaming gig the other week, here it is. It features my wonderful band of Long Lost Brothers (and Sisters) - Nicky Del Rey on guitar, Ed Bates on pedal steel, Cal McAlpine on drums, Rob Walker on bass, Fiona Lee Maynard on backing vocals and percussion; and Amy Valent Curlis on percussion. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Jack

06.01.2022 Greetings Punters Preview from us: The Garage Slam version of The Whole World is Dreaming featured here in ‘The Music’ ... The album ‘SLOW DAWN’ released 29th May... https://themusic.com.au//video-premi/U8lPR0ZJSEs/30-04-20/

05.01.2022 Here's the new single and video, folks. Head to https://jackhoward.bandcamp.com to pre-order the album and book. Cheers, Jack.

04.01.2022 Howdy. Back in the day, when we were just a bunch of wannabes, community radio was incredibly important for us, as it has been for so many Australian artists. Michael Waters suggested years ago making the band lifetime subscribers in recognition of the critical role that 3RRR played in our early career. If anything, RRR and stations like it are more relevant than ever as independent musicians battle to keep their heads above water. Donate if you can. https://www.facebook.com/3RRRFM

03.01.2022 Mark Seymour & The Undertow new album "Slow Dawn" will be release on 180 gram vinyl on Friday 23 October. It can be pre-ordered now from: https://smarturl.it/SlowDawnVinyl

03.01.2022 Have you seen this? We played on the Letterman show back in 1990 at the end of the Midnight Oil world tour. (H & C supported the Oils the whole way around). Pretty cool, although they insisted on using their rhythm section and John and Doug had to cool their heels sidestage. We got to hang with actor Jeff Bridges who was a very nice guy. Feels a bit surreal looking back on it now. Cheers, Jack https://youtu.be/0ESXzscW7rs
