Fire Records

Fire Records is an independent record label headquartered in London, England, UK. Founded in the mid 80s, Fire Records has been a prominent force in the music industry for decades. They have released early records from Pulp, Teenage Fanclub, Spacemen 3, Blue Aeroplanes, and many other influential artists. In the early 90s, the label was home to notable acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel, The Lemonheads, Built to Spill, and Urge Overkill.With a rich history of discovering talent and nurturing their careers, Fire Records remains dedicated to supporting groundbreaking musicians across various genres. Their diverse roster showcases both established names and emerging talents who push boundaries and challenge conventions.

Howe Gelb, born in 1956, is a singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer based in Tucson, Arizona. With a career spanning several decades, Gelb has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. He is known for his unique blend of folk, rock, and alternative country sounds.

Gelb's musical journey began at an early age and was greatly influenced by his brother Ricky Gelb. Over the years, he has collaborated with various artists and bands such as *Giant Sand*, *Willard Grant Conspiracy*, *Jim White*, *OP8*, *Lambchop*, and many more.

His distinctive style and soulful lyrics have earned him a dedicated fan base worldwide. Gelb's discography includes numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as both a songwriter and performer. Whether it's through heartfelt ballads or energetic rock anthems, Gelb never fails to captivate audiences with his raw talent.

Howe Gelb does not stand still. His next solo album Future Standards sees him fulfil a long time aspiration to play jazz standards. Inspired by the classics, his piano songs have found a clearer shape as "future standards” but have always been a central element to his creativity. Sitting neatly against his huge back catalogue of solo records, these compelling and timeless songs are alluringly melancholic and reflective. Often collaborating within his own bands and side projects, the album sees Howe (piano &amp; vocals) joined by Thøger Lund (bass), Andrew Collberg (drums) and guests Lonna Kelley (vocals) and Naim Amor (guitar).
