    This is the original one-man band. He does it all: lead and backing vocals, synth guitars, custom double kick drum kit, bass, and keyboards. He must be a busy man live in concert! But seriously, this is good stuff. It is keyboard dominated, as you might have guessed, but it is clearly creative and energetic. The lyrics have a clear message of hope and, to tell you the truth, the clarity of the vocals was refreshing. You may get flashbacks of Phil Keaggy with this one; at least I did. It makes you wonder if Paul Howey has a studio in his basement. The entire project was well done, right down to the production. Give it a listen man, I think you'll like it.
