Basque Country Band
Howdy Bluegrass
Howdy plays mainly Bluegrass infused original material with a couple of Oldtime and traditional numbers thrown in for good measure. Based in Donostia (Basque Country), Howdy started their musical journey back in 2012, sharing the stage with different musicians and exploring the different styles, eventually settling into their particular unique sound. The current members of Howdy are Jon Arzelus on upright bass, Urbil Artola on dobro, Jose Mari Pulido on banjo, Julen Maestro on diatonic accordion and Gorka Arranz on guitar and main vocals.
