John Howie
John Howie (born 1950)
is an Australian musician who lives in Melbourne. He and his identical twin brother,
Graeme, perform together as The Howie Brothers, a well-known country/easy
listening vocal harmony recording act. John and Graeme were previously members of
country band 1901, which won three Golden Guitar awards at Tamworth
(Australia), including Group of the Year on two occasions. The Howie Brothers has
released approximately 20 albums. John plays various instruments, including piano,
drums, accordion & guitar. John is a keen songwriter and is currently writing
a book on songwriting.
John has a Bachelor of
Music degree from the University of Melbourne, where he studied classical music and
music education. John taught music in secondary schools for over 20 years.
In the early 1990s John
came up with the idea of running Music Tours - group sightseeing tours with a focus
on music in the evenings. He ran his first tour, to Ireland, in 1995. He has now
organised and led 11 annual tours to Ireland, as well as tours to Scotland, America,
New Zealand, Tahiti and the Australian Outback. John finds running music tours very
satisfying–he has a passion for music and travel and he thoroughly enjoys getting
to know the people who go on his tours.
John is married and has three daughters.
