Howard Jones Comes To The Paramount Peekskill 10/28

Howard Jones "Back To The Electronics" rocks the Paramount Center For The Arts on Friday, October 28th.

It was in 1983 that Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene and brought his very English song-writing and pioneering synthesizers to an unsuspecting world. That year, Jones released his first single, ‘New Song', in the UK. The expectation was that it might sell a few thousand copies and introduce his fresh new music to an unsuspecting world. The reality was quite different. The single steadily climbed the UK chart to peak at No. 3.

Then came the second single ‘What Is Love?' which reached No. 2 in the UK and the third single, the enigmatic ‘Hide and Seek', which showed the spiritual side of Jones' writing. This was followed by the first album, ‘Human's Lib', which came straight in at No. 1 in the UK, eventually going platinum, which took the synthesizer and Jones to a new plateau. This success spread across the globe with ‘Human's Lib' going gold in USA, Japan, Germany, Italy and Australia.

The second album, ‘Dream Into Action', was even more successful spawning a series of hits including ‘Like To Get To Know You Well', ‘Look Mama', ‘Things Can Only Get Better' and the classic ‘No One Is To Blame', which reached No.1 in the U.S. singles chart. Dream Into Action went platinum in US and stayed in the US top 20 album chart for the best part of a year. In 1986 Jones was voted Keyboard Player of the Year in Rolling Stone magazine.

Howard Jones has proved that he is one of the most talented writers and performers of recent times. His independent attitude and his ability and willingness to take risks ensure that he will continue to be on the cutting edge of today's music.

Howard Jones "Back To The Electronics" Rocks the Paramount Center for the Arts on Friday, October 28th. Showtime is 8 pm. The theatre is located at 1008 Brown Street in Peekskill. To purchase tickets, call TICKET FORCE (877) 840-0457 or online at www.paramountcenter.org.
