Howie Beck finds True North

After four years of silence, Howie Beck has finally returned with a new record and a new label. True North Records has managed to pin down the elusive songwriter and will be releasing his new, self-titled album this coming July.

Since the release of his last album, 2001's Hollow, Beck's music has been finding peoples' ears by word of mouth and immense critical praise. Howie Beck songs began to appear in television show and feature films including Felicity, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Queer As Folk while still not signed to a label. The idiosyncratic songwriter records and produces each of his records in his apartment by himself; performing almost every note alone and producing what the President of True North Bernie Finkelstein calls "beautiful, timeless songs."

Besides producing and recording his latest album Beck has toured with and opened shows for The Wallflowers, Hayden, The Dandy Warhols, Sarah Harmer, and Interpol among many others and appears on the latest albums by Harmer and Hayden.
