TESTIMONIALS
Howie is a first-rate publicist. He was able to get feature articles about me in the Boston Globe and Herald plus
many other local newspapers. Howie also promoted my gigs with newspaper listings, articles and photos. This
resulted in a Boston Music Award nomination. As a result in the increase in my media presence, my invitations
to perform increased as well as public awareness of my work. He’s easy to work with and does a great job.
I had Howie handle my publicity for several years and he did a great job. He revamped my press kit, making it
look professional and eye-catching. He was then able to get some nice feature stories written about me in
newspapers and magazines. Howie also publicized my gigs in the local papers with write-ups and photos, and
obtained reviews for my CDs. I really enjoyed working with him.
I was very impressed by Howie Newman's promotional writing and because of that I hired him to do publicity
for my CD release show which turned out to be a great success! He wrote wonderful press releases for me,
sent them out to all the important newspapers and was helpful and timely in his communications. He
supported me at my show and made sure that copies of the article that the Salem Evening News wrote about
my show were available for everyone. His combined experience in the newspaper business, musician and
promoter make him a great asset to have for an artist.
