about

"What is “The Stars and The Well”?

Influenced by the Laurel Canyon Sound, Bowie, Steely Dan, Richie Havens, and Scott Walker, but created in the context of my own experience, The Stars and The Well is unabashedly nostalgic, consumed with Romance and unafraid of the fragility of love. It’s a retrospective of the impact of love in my life, in all its forms… From the heights (The Stars) to the depths (The Well).

Please listen with your ears, mind and heart open." - Percy Howard

Joe Gore, for being tirelessly creative, and helping with arrangements. Vernon Reid for friendship, frank conversations, and support over the years. Joe Chicarelli for helping interpret the vision, and creating a beautiful recording. Vernon Reid and Fred Frith for being a part of this, and being part of my musical journey over the years. Kaveh Rastegar, Matt Chamberlain, Zac Rae, Joe Gore and Sean Hurley for playing together like a band, and not hired guns.
