The veteran blues quartet continue to perform through
out the U.S., bringing audiences to their feet and out onto the dance floor -
much as they have done for over twenty years. Longtime band member Rocco Calipari has also branched
out with his successful side project Head Honchos', who have
released a well-received debut CD and play regularly throughout the Midwest as
well as the rest of the U.S. and Canada.
The members of Howard And the White Boys first met at Northern Illinois
University in Dekalb in 1988 and began jamming together just for fun, but their
fast-growing popularity soon convinced them they could make a career of it.
After only a few months, they got their first big break by opening for Blues
legend, B.B. King. The band soon made the move to Chicago and began performing
with the biggest names in Blues: Koko Taylor, Albert King, Junior Wells, Lonnie
Brooks, Luther Allison, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry (the latter whom they were
the backing band for in a headlining capacity at the 2002 Long Beach Blues
Festival in Long Beach, Calif.).
