Trevor Exter was born in Ithaca, NY. He always played different things but kept coming back to the cello. He sits with the cello and sings, but he plays it weird - like a tiny bass or aquatic guitar. He also hits it sometimes. He's been a sideman with many indie artists around NYC, and he almost won "NYC Soundtracks" in 2008, which is sort of like American Idol for buskers in the New York Subway (but cooler).

Raised in Arizona, Steve Waitt still isn't sure where he was actually born. A consummate singer/songwriter with a voice as mournful as it is passionate, there is a unique marriage to be found between his delicate, sometimes lonely timbre, and his emotionally charged songs. Absorbing his parents favorite records from early on, Steve tinkered away from the age of seven. He found a piano in his living room, and was instantly hooked. Singing came soon after, as he would be chosen to join a prestigious boys choir and perform extensively throughout Europe and the U.S. From a musical kindergarten to a major of the same in university, he felt his course was clear. School now behind him and feeling slightly protected by the quiet backdrop of Arizona, Steve decided to leave home. Taking with him just a guitar, he traveled through Mexico and the west, eventually arriving in San Francisco. The people he met, and their stories had now begun to replace the records of his youth. In each person was another song, and a view into a life that was more different and desperate than his own. The music that came, reflected this.

The NEW YORK HOWL is:
Andrew Katz - guitar, keys, singing
Adam Amram - drums
Teresa T.Bone Amram - bass, singing
We endeavor to hold the crackling, livid, blinding, screaming, fleeting, weightless loving truth in the palm of our hands, in the muscle of our hearts, and in the wet of our mouths. You will see us breathe bright waterfalls of fire and you will hear the sound of children playing with electricity.
Adam's into skateboards and surviving in the wild. Teresa's into working on old cars and saving animals. Andrew's into gambling and theology.
