Americana / Midwest Rock Singer-Songwriter

Howard Gripp is a Wisconsin-based singer-songwriter blending Americana, Midwest rock, country influences, and faith-based songwriting into music rooted in real life.

Howard's songs come from his own experiences—the good, the bad, the mistakes, the changes, and the faith that has shaped who he is today. His music carries an encouraging message without losing the rock edge, making it equally at home on Christian, rock, Americana, and country stages and radio.

Rather than limiting his music to one audience, Howard wants to meet people where they are. The faith behind the songs is real, but the stories are universal—second chances, leaving the past behind, dealing with loss, overcoming fear, and finding the strength to move forward.

Howard's live performances combine original music with recognizable rock, country, Americana, and Christian covers, giving him the flexibility to build a show around the audience in front of him.
