Driven by gritty guitar work and emotionally charged songwriting, Kev Howell is rapidly emerging as one of the UK’s most compelling independent blues-rock voices.
His sophomore album, It’s Gonna Get Heavy (August 2025), recorded at Maybank Studios in Glasgow and mastered by Tim Debney (Thom Yorke, Kasabian) at Fluid Mastering, builds on the momentum of his SAY Award-nominated debut Haunting Ambition, which has surpassed 130,000 streams.
Support from BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio, alongside feature recognition from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and a Top 20 placement on SoundCloud, has positioned Howell as an artist with proven audience traction and crossover appeal.
Having shared stages with Gerry Cinnamon, Danny Bryant and Troy Redfern, Howell is now preparing for an expanded 2026 touring schedule — both solo and with a new band lineup — ready to scale his growing fanbase across the UK and beyond.
