The musical days of Summer

Brad Howard is here to perform some country for you as todays Smyrna talent. His bio tells a little of his history.
Brad was born in the North Georgia area, and his family moved to North Wilkesboro, North Carolina when he was two years old. North Wilkesboro is a small town about thirty miles from the Blue Ridge mountains. He started singing in church at a very young age while his dad would play the guitar for him. He eventually would begin singing in churches around the southeastern area. While in high school, he became part of a gospel trio that would perform in the local area until he graduated. After Brad graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force full-time. While in active duty, he concentrated more on his military service then on music. He would eventually transfer into the Air Force Reserves and get back to doing what he loved. He started performing again in churches located in the southeastern area, while working at industrial plants full-time. He would later get the opportunity to perform the national anthem for several minor league games in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Brad always had a deep love for country music and recalls singing along with artists like George Strait, Don Williams, Gene Watson and others as a boy. He decided to start writing and recording his own material. His desire is to keep real country music alive, and reach out to people with his music. Brad currently lives in Smyrna, Tennessee. He is a proud parent of a 11 year old boy from a previous marriage. He credits God for his supportive family, musical opportunities, and the inspiration needed to write songs.
