Soltero

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Soltero is the brainchild of Tim Howard, a Boston-based singer/songwriter with a knack for penning forlorn but clever laments about insecure people battling to keep afloat in a sea of regret and broken relationships. Howard's innovative imagery and original metaphors giddily flip traditional love-gone-wrong song conventions on their ear and inject some much-appreciated levity into the mix.

Soltero (aka Tim Howard) writes mean love songs about the freeze and thaw, the hem and haw of a young heart. The recordings alternately feature the melancholy of Leonard Cohen and the full-band bravado of Neil Young. With their lovelorn post-folk, Soltero is often compared to the likes of Pavement, Silver Jews, and Yo La Tengo. The Boston Globe even alleged that if Johnny Cash and Lee Hazelwood played together, they would sound something like Soltero. Indeed.

Globetrotter, troubadour, teacher, migrant worker; Soltero's Tim Howard is a man with many a feather in his cap. This is lovelorn folk-pop at its finest moment: desperate and romantic. Love is declared, sold down the river, and stolen from the hand of God through the course of twelve songs.
