Northwestern is a dynamic duo whose engaging performances and stellar recorded work reflect the considerable skills of both artists.

Chris Howarth is an eloquent singer-songwriter in the classic vein whose compositions have drawn substantive praise, for example, from Sonoro  “ a core of compassionate optimism underscores the song-writing…. damn great, a fascinating meditation.”

Adrian Hough is a bottleneck guitarist who is renowned for his sympathetic accompaniment and emotive expression, about whom, Guitarist magazine stated that his “sublime slide-work is as stunning as it is varied.”

Together these two fine artists deliver a set of primarily original songs with interpretations of classics to appreciative audiences, wherever they play.

“Super cool sounds from Northwestern this evening, a duo that works effortlessly together, crafting great songs and delivering them impeccably! Clever and inventive songwriting, delivered superbly, this is a duo at the top of their game, so come check them out.”
