Sturtz and The Howard Brothers in Concert at Cavalcade

NPR’s All Songs Considered described Sturtz as “a reassuring breath of fresh air that pulls me back to simpler times." The group is serene and folksy, with melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals. Sturtz released their second studio album Hyacinth in September 2024, and they're hard at work writing songs for their next album now. When they’re not playing music, you’ll probably find the members of Sturtz milling flour, gardening, roasting coffee, or honing in on their photography skills.The Howard Brothers are a Folk-Americana duo of identical twins, Jason and Jonah Howard. The band’s roots in the calculating styles of jazz and classical music and the passionate voice of popular song combine to make a music that knows no bounds. From music school to big stages, they bring an adventure to every show.
