“As one of rock’s legendary voices, Brian Howe exploded onto the scene when he partnered up as lead vocalist with multi-platinum artist Ted Nugent for the 1983 album, Penetrator. But Howe’s ultimate ascension to super-stardom was with his next venture as lead singer with the iconic British rock band Bad Company.”Bad Company courted Brian to take the helm as lead vocalist in 1984. He accepted the offer and for the next 10 years, as BAD COMPANY’s lead vocalist and its main songwriter, he led the group back into sold out arena tours with platinum and gold albums like Dangerous Age, Holy Water and Here Comes Trouble and hit singles like “Shake It Up”, “No Smoke Without A Fire”, “If You Needed Someone”, “How About That” that he co-wrote!
