Kev Howell

Driven by his signature gritty guitar work, Kev Howell dives deep into blues, rock, and atmospheric influences on his sophomore album, 'It's Gonna Get Heavy'. Released in August 2025, it was recorded in Maybank Studios, Glasgow, and mastered by Tim Debney (The Music, Thom Yorke, Kasabian, Blossoms) at Fluid Mastering in London. The album is a cohesive, dynamic record that affirms Howell’s distinct and evolving voice. Since having two tracks, 'Arrows' and 'Longnor', from the LP featured on BBC Introducing, Kev has been playing prestigious venues and festivals and plans to tour in 2026 with a new band line-up to bring IGGH to life. Some notable supports include Liam St. John, Troy Redfern, Danny Bryant, Ben Ottewell, Glorious Sons, John Power, Tony Christie and his Blues Band, and Gerry Cinnamon.
