Howe Gelb (born October 22, 1956 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania)[1] is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer based in Tucson, Arizona.[2]
Projects[edit]
Gelb's approach to music is collaborative and he has recorded with a number of side projects. In a 2004 interview with Gelb, The Guardian wrote 'Gelb's way of dealing with it was to treat Giant Sand (not to be confused with his 1970s electro-rock band Giant Sandworms) as a loose, uncompetitive, mutually supportive musical collective, a place for friends to hang out and play. 'I just liked the idea of having this kind of removed world, this brotherhood—the idea of a band being something more than a front person or dealing with the throes of fame.'[3]
In 2013, he worked with the Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall on her fourth studio album Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon. He co-wrote and co-produced, and sang on several songs.[4] His own solo album entitled The Coincidentalist was released on New West Records in November 2013.[5]
