It was in 1983 that Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene with his very English songwriting, pioneering synthesizers and thought provoking lyrics. He set out his manifesto in his very first single ‘New Song’. The lyrics called on the listener to challenge their preconceived ideas, to see both sides and ‘throw off your mental chains’. New Song was recently used in a pivotal scene in ‘Breaking Bad’ where Aaron Paul’s character Jessie Pinkman questions if he wants to ‘play by the rules’. New Song peaked at number 3 in the UK singles charts.

Howard Jones continues to tour across the world every year performing to many hundreds of thousands of music fans. His current high tech band features Jonathan Atkinson on electric drums and Robbie Bronnimann on sequencing and additional keyboards. Highlights of 2014 /15 include over 50 North American shows including a stand out show at The Greek in LA along with numerous festival appearances in the UK. 2015 has seen Howard perform his new multi media show ‘Engage’ at The indigo at the O2’ in London, The Saban Theatre in LA and at the Gramercy in New York City. The ground breaking multi media show incorporates specially commissioned visuals, projected both in front and behind the band and invites the audience to participate through smart phone apps, customized clothing, and fluorescent makeup.
