Howie Day's songs are cooler than his name.
Years from now when I'm interviewed (because I'm a celebrated musician) who my influences are, I'll have to remind myself to include Howie Day in the list.
I've been wearing out about 8 tracks from a live show I legally downloaded a couple days ago. The guy's got skills.
He does layering/looping much like Keller Williams*. And his voice definitely has a Dave Matthews feel to it. In fact, at one point Howie's between-song banter sounds so much like Dave-Speak it made my head turn.
His songs are definitely mellow, but at 1:30 in the morning that's just fine by me.
