Soltero

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Soltero is the musical project of songwriter Tim Howard, who recently moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from Boston, Massachusetts. Soltero has had several incarnations, including a five-piece band (w/trumpet and rhodes) and a louder four-piece band, as well as solo and duo acoustic lineups. The first full-length Soltero album, entitled 'Science Will Figure You Out,' was self-released in August 2001, and was recorded with members of the Mobius Band. April 2003 saw the release of 'Defrocked and Kicking the Habit' on Handsome Records. 'The Tongues You Have Tied' was put out on Three Ring Records in June 2004. Soltero's latest album, 'Hell Train,' is the first to prominently feature his band of three years. It was first self-released in March 2005, and then released widely by Three Ring Records in November 2005. A fifth record, entitled 'You're No Dream,' is currently being recorded.
