Howard & Skye

“Deeply rooted in blues and country, Howard & Skye are masters in transforming feelings into songs…” – Lambert Smits, Keys and Chords Music Magazine

Jonathan Howard and Blueflower Skye comprise the Americana acoustic act “Howard & Skye.” Based in Arkansas, we perform country, blues, rock and folk covers and originals for a wide range of audiences throughout Arkansas and surrounding states. We’re known for our energetic blend of vocals, acoustic guitar and earthy percussion, forming a sound that fluctuates dynamically from gentle acoustic to a resonating full band sound.

Howard & Skye have entertained audiences for over ten years at local venues and festivals (headlining the Arkansas Goat Festival 2024), and hosted singer-songwriter showcases at music conferences.
