Howell Devine
HowellDevine was formed back in the Summer of 2011 when Joshua Howell and Pete Devine met each other in SF. They both realized that they had a similar love of the blues, and instantly bonded musically! Joshua, who had just spent the previous three years in Thailand, was freshly dealing with the "Back to America Blues", and Pete had just climbed out from the pits of hell to begin the healing process in his new life after a month long vacation in a sunny So. Cal rehab.
Happily, they played together around SF for several months as a duo. Then in the fall, they recruited upright bassist Sam Rocha and recorded a CD titled 'Delta Grooves" as a trio. Soon, Sam went off to war to a (not so) foreign land. So enter current upright bassist Safa Shokrai. (Actually HowellDevine is a 3-deep upright bass group, with either Big Joe Kyle Jr. or Kenan O'brian subbing for Safa when he is off touring the world with Rupa & The April Fishes.) Since then, HowellDevine has been providing Northern California and The Bay Area with the kind of blues that makes folks whoop, holler and hump.....well, dance!
